Thousands of experiences for learners and companies on Riipen

This project focuses on collecting, categorizing, and analyzing vulnerability data across different industry sectors to create comparative risk profiles. Students will gather data from various sources, apply industry-specific risk analysis methodologies, and develop a structured dataset that helps organizations understand vulnerability prioritization based on their sector's unique characteristics. Problem to Solve Organizations struggle to effectively prioritize vulnerabilities based on their specific industry context. Generic vulnerability scoring systems fail to account for industry-specific impacts, causing misaligned security efforts. This project addresses this gap by creating a specialized dataset that maps how vulnerabilities should be prioritized differently across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors.

This experience is designed for a learner with skills in artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning with a focus on practical applications in manufacturing. The program aims to equip the learner with the ability to design and implement AI-driven solutions that improve quality control processes, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in manufacturing environments. Other related applications within or outside of manufacturing (agriculture, medical imaging, etc.) would also be of interest.

This 46-hour, fully subsidized, project-based experience connects Denver-based employers with learners from the Colorado Community College System. Each project runs for four weeks , starting end of April and ending by July, 2025 . You'll be matched with up to five learners, each contributing 46 hours—totalling up to 230 hours of support. Learners receive a $900 USD payment upon successful completion, fully funded by Riipen. There is no cost to employers. Submit your project for review by the Impact Projects team. If approved, we’ll match you with a qualified learner team ready to contribute to your business. Learners are prepared to support initiatives in areas such as: Disaster Risk Reduction Water Resource Management Agricultural Resilience Ecosystem Protection Renewable Energy & Clean Technology Climate-Resilient Health Systems Climate Policy & Finance Extreme Weather & Climate Events
