Portage College enters an exciting new partnership with Riipen.
Portage College announced its partnership with Riipen to launch the Level UP program, which enhances student employability through paid, project-based learning experiences. This initiative connects students with diverse employers for short-term, remote projects while being able to apply academic knowledge in real-world contexts. Each project, totaling 60 hours, offers students the chance to complete up to three projects, earning a stipend of $1,400 each. Funded by the Government of Canada’s Innovative Work-Integrated Learning (I-WIL) Initiatives program, Level UP aims to bridge the gap between education and employment, fostering critical skills for career readiness. Both Portage College and Riipen anticipate significant benefits for students and employers, promoting professional growth and community development.
We acknowledge that Portage College’s service region is on the traditional lands of First Nation Peoples, the owners of Treaty 6, 8 and 10, which are also homelands to the Métis people. We honour the history and culture of all people who first lived and gathered in these lands.
