It was a great experience.

Our experience with Level Up was simply wonderful! We felt so lucky to work with three talented student interns who brought so much to our communications team. We appreciated their know-how and chutzpah! Without Level Up, we could not have hired such exceptional staff. What a fantastic program! Long may it live!

Positive experience! The ease and convenience of the Level Up program's Riipen platform process of project posting, student applications, accepting of project and funding approval were very valuable and time and cost efficient for us. The students are smart, diligent and efficient and produce high quality work, proving to be valuable members of the project and team. It is very rare for an employer to be able to onboard quality students and not having to apply and handle the funding process so seamlessly as the Level Up program via Riipen does. Much appreciated!

Amazing amazing program, so happy with the simplicity, ease of use, and what I was able to do with the program. However I feel the deadlines are too tight and students are strained to complete 80 hours in a way that doesnt overwork them.

Level Up provides a great opportunity for businesses to get needed help at no cost to them. It's great that student's are incentivized by the pay and don't just have to volunteer their time. I would recommend that employers be picky when selecting students as some are trying to do minimal work to get the stipend.

This is a fantastic program and it was great to work with the 5 students and get their perspective on the project and the tasks.

Great program to work with!

Although the student did do the postings, It was not the type of work I was expecting as it did not motivate the readership of the website or Social media to engage. I was expecting to see more postings through out the project that engaged the readership not only to follow the organization on social media but also to follow the website.

Great help on advising and creating content for our websites. I highly recommend this school.

The Level Up Program is fantastic. I recommend this for all students trying to enter the workforce and gain experience, and for companies to find those hidden gems!

Great program to access skills and knowledge for project-based opportunities.

It was a pleasure to work with students in some exploration projects here at SD Companies.

Level Up was quick to respond to our queries and helpful in coaching us on how to make our project more attractive to participants. That latter part is what brought us such a good array of applicants.

Level Up does take things to the next level - wow! I am impressed with their diversity, their breadth - and their depth. Thank you so much to the LEVEL UP administrative team for excellent communication and support of your students plus STEERus!

Absolutely love this program and what it does for both the students and employers. At times business can be overwhelming and it’s always nice to be able to receive the help from students on their way to becoming professionals in their own right. Communication with the team is on point. Will definitely be doing this again next year.

Very nice experience working with the team.

Wonderful partnership. Thank you!

It is a great opportunity for employers to collaborate with talents and professionals studying in different fields.

Riipen is a great platform! Highly recommend.

Riipen provided us with the opportunity to work with many gifted students. We highly recommend working with this program to find the hidden gems in these students that all seem to have great talent. A mutually beneficial relationship for Students and Employers!

Incredible program.

Incredible program would use it again.

Great institution with a solid program and diverse group of students.

The Level Up Program is under utilized as it's a great opportunity for employers and students to benefit from a potential win/win scenario. We look forward to the program continuing, allowing us to support the initiative to help students become strong leaders of the future!

Level-Up has been sending us by and largre very strong students. We intend to hire or contract many of them starting in 2022. Thank you again Riipen for this solid platform

Awesome program and student-consultants! We enjoyed working with LEVEL UP and would love to be considered for future projects.

LEVEL UP is a fantastic program that pairs student-consultants with real-world projects. We enjoyed working with the LEVEL UP team and look forward to future projects!

Thank you!

I loved working with this program. Very easy to implement and hire students.

LevelUP is a great opportunity to get a simple tactical project completed. It does require some investment in terms of time and coaching at the start, but if a clear goal is set, and good instructions are given to the students, generally the result is very useful to the company.
