Looking to fast-track your Riipen FuturePath project and attract top student talent? Follow this guide to create a project that aligns with both student needs and FuturePath criteria for faster approval.
When designing your project, keep in mind you’re addressing two audiences: students and the Riipen FuturePath team.
1. Crafting for Students
Your project should be designed to help students develop practical, workforce-ready skills. Think about their interests, availability, and ability to complete the project in 60 hours over 2-8 weeks (with a maximum of 30 hours per week).
Rather than a job description, your posting should clearly outline a fully-developed project. Focus on specific deliverables—whether it's code, presentations, marketing materials, or other assets—and define what students need to submit upon project completion. If the project is under an NDA, make sure to specify how deliverables will be handled and shared.
2. Crafting for the Riipen FuturePath Team
The Riipen FuturePath team evaluates projects based on clarity, alignment with educational objectives, and completeness. To meet these expectations, use the provided project template to include:
Project goals, scope, expectations, and deliverables
Required skills, resources, and mentorship plans
When reviewing completed projects, we’ll compare them against the original project description. To ensure a smooth process, provide as much detail and accuracy as possible.
Key Details:
Student Team Limits: We recommend up to 4 students per project, based on cohort size.

Project Checklist:
To ensure your project is well-received, consider the following:
Is the goal of the project clear and achievable?
Is the scope of the project manageable within the 60-hour timeframe?
Are the deliverables and expectations clearly defined?
Have you outlined a solid mentorship plan and available resources?
Are you clear about the level of experience required for students?
Does your project align with both educational and industry goals?
Will the project description serve as a benchmark for evaluation during the payment process?
