Important 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.
These projects have been created by MacEwan staff and faculty looking to work with MacEwan students on projects.
The Level UP program (powered by Riipen) allows employers to bring on Canadia 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. Read more about the program here.
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). Most projects will be suitable if they can be completed remotely.
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
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 we can work with you to resize the project as needed.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Define the project scope up front to the best of your abilities, limiting scope changes once students are approved for the project.
Review student applications and accept or decline applications within 30 days. (Recommended 14 days.)

Be available for a discussion with the MacEwan and Level UP team to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope in an appropriate fit for the internship.
