Riipen’s mission is to eliminate graduate unemployment and underemployment by reducing the skills-gap for those about to enter the workforce. We have built a marketplace platform where organizations of all sizes can connect with educators to collaborate with university and college students on short-term projects and competitions.

Our platform allows all parties in the ecosystem to co-create, manage, and assess authentic experiential learning opportunities, at scale. These opportunities can be embedded directly into course curriculum through in-class assignments or can take place outside of the classroom, through competitions and challenges. Riipen is the leading technology platform in North America for any institution looking to provide micro-experiential learning. At present our marketplace includes 140+ academic institutions, 10,000 companies, and 25,000 students.
