Create and submit your Achēv project
1. Select ‘Request Match’ on the Achēv program you're looking to match a project to.
2. You can match an existing company project, or create a new one using a template from our library. We recommend that you use an approved template.
3. Creating a project is a 5-step process in the project creation wizard.
Add a descriptive title, and summarize the work you want the participants to complete. Make sure the expected outcomes for your business are clear to participants, and that they can get a sense of the scope of work from your description.
Make sure to provide a concrete scope for the team’s work.
Projects should provide 450 hours of work per participant, for a team of up to 2.
Continue through the steps in the wizard. If you save your project as a draft, you can return to your project at any time to make edits.
Answer the screening questions for the program. Employers without a Business Number will not be able to participate.
4. After you submit your match request, hit “view request”.
5. Before your match can be accepted, you will need to click “Sign Agreements” and formally agree to the Achēv Terms and Conditions.

A few things to note:
Your project should be acknowledged by the Achēv team within 5 business days.
Once matched to the program, you will receive an email with additional agreements from the Achēv team. These must be completed before the program start date.
