What is the Riipen Level Up Program?
E's Element x Riipen Level Up
Due to an overwhelming amount of applications, we will begin recruiting student interns starting January 1st 2023. However, you can still apply through our database so we can follow up with you in 2023. This will apply to applications received after November 30th 2022.
(Please Note: All E's Element Internships will end August 2023)
At this time, the only way to apply for E's Element internships is through the Riipen Level Up Program.
Funded by the Government of Canada, Level UP internships are 80-hour projects, completed over 2-8 weeks that can be completed fully online or hybrid. Upon completion, students are paid a $1400 stipend ($17.50/hour) directly by Riipen, eliminating the red tape of wage subsidy programs. To participate, students must be registered at a Canadian Post-Secondary institution. Participants must also be Canadian citizens, Permanent Residents, or persons to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
