communication project scopingImportant for students: To qualify for Level UP funding, please confirm your eligibility by completing a short 1-minute questionnaire. This step is mandatory for you to receive your $1,400 honorarium from Riipen.
The Level UP program (powered by Riipen) allows employers to bring on Canadian post-secondary students for 80-hour paid projects. Students are paid a $1400 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen; employers are not required to provide payment.
Submit a project here for our Level UP coordinators to review. Once approved, students will apply to your project directly - individually, or in teams. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicant(s).
While deliverables will vary depending on the project scope, at the conclusion of the project you should have assets that you can use to further your business goals. Maintaining communication with students throughout the project will lead to better results.
Project Examples
Projects should be approximately 80 hours in length, though our coordinators can work with you to resize the project as needed. Most projects will be suitable if they can be completed remotely.
Suitable projects in the communications stream include:
- Journalism tasks such as writing stories, news layout, researching, interviewing, editing in print or online
- Communication tasks in writing, editing, research or a combination of these three
The above list are examples, and you are welcome to propose other projects in the area of communications.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
