Student goals and capabilities

International Indigenous Speakers Bureau uses the Level UP program (powered by Riipen) to allow work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences for Canadian post-secondary students for 60-hour paid projects. Students are paid a $1400 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen. Employers are not required to provide payment.

Once approved, students must apply to your project directly - individually, or in teams. Students may be from any eligible Canadian post-secondary institution, and in any academic program.
