Four easy steps
In-class Projects
Make your business challenge or opportunity the focus of a classroom. Do you want to redesign your website? Research the competitive landscape? Get a review of your HR manual? There are students specializing in hundreds of topics who can learn from solving your business projects.
Virtual Internships
Get hands-on support from students through a remote internship. These internships are paid or for course credit (meaning the students get academic credit for their institution). They typically take shape around a specific project but are more execution-oriented than in-class projects.
Challenges
Flexible and scalable engagements where students can demonstrate their skills through a short term challenge that takes place outside the classroom. Do you want to see students demonstrate their creativity or critical thinking to build your recruitment funnel? This is a perfect opportunity to do that!

"The Riipen marketplace is a great source of opportunities. Through it we connected with an HR course at the McMaster Centre for Continuing Education called Training and Development Consultancy. The faculty and students were very easy to work with and provided useful market research, analysis and insights. The result included an industry survey for HR professionals that helped us define the ultimate interactive mentoring curriculum for our mentoring software."
