"students develop critical skills in leadership, problem solving and collaboration"

"the ability to work with real life customers in varying industries is a huge bonus"

"this experience reinforced students' employability"

The future of work is changing.

Over 75% of employers say their expectations for candidates are higher than they were five years ago. What are we doing to better prepare students to enter the workforce? One of the most effective ways to prepare Canada’s youth with the skills for the future is by embracing Work Integrated Learning (WIL).  

But as more institutions are moving to embed WIL into the curriculum at varying levels of study, scaling these initiatives while considering aspects like accessibility has proved time-consuming and expensive.

Now more than ever, with changing work and learning habits, and many students spending more time online, it's time to rethink curriculum-embedded WIL.

We'll show you how with Riipen.

Please note: this webinar will be recorded and sent to all confirmed attendees. If you are interested but cannot attend, please register and the recording will be sent to you after the webinar.

Following each session, Harris Green - our Academic Account Manager from Riipen - and his colleagues will be hosting a 1 hour (optional) office hour session on Zoom where participants will be able receive individualized support with designing their course posting.
