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. 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. Students may be from any Canadian post-secondary institution, and in any academic program. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicants.
While deliverables will vary depending on the project scope, at the conclusion of the project you should have a completed report or other 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.
Suitable projects in the sales stream include:
- Sales prospecting. Students develop a leads list from your recommended sources.
- Sales forecasting. Students will analyze your sales funnels and internal processes to develop recommendations for more accurate forecasting.
- Sales operations. Students review your sales processes and make recommendations in the area of operations to improve efficiency and increase conversion.
The above list are examples, and you are welcome to propose other projects in the area of sales.
