Description

We're empowering student talent from top schools across Canada to match with paid short-term, remote projects from thousands of diverse employers.

Together, let's bridge learning and work. 🤝

Funded by the Government of Canada, Level UP internships are 80-hour projects, completed over 2-8 weeks that can be completed fully online or hybrid. Upon completion, students are paid a $1400 stipend ($17.50/hour) directly by Riipen, eliminating the red tape of wage subsidy programs.

To participate, students must be registered at a Canadian Post-Secondary institution. Participants must also be Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents, or persons to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
