2. Apply for a portal pass with Level UP.
3. Click on the available cohort of Level UP that you would like to participate in and hit “Request Match”.
5. Complete company verification.
See more details about what you will need to verify here: Employer Verification
6. Once verified, hit "Request Match" and create or select an existing project that you’re looking to post for Level UP student applications. Each company can match 1 project, per funding period (April 2025 - March 2026). Each company is limited to 2 students per project.
For guidance on creating a project that aligns with our criteria, refer to: Creating a Successful Level UP Project for Employers.
You will be asked a series of match request questions as part of the process. These are required to complete the match request.
7. Sign the agreements and accept the match request on your end.
8. Your project will either be approved by us within 5 business days, or you may be asked to make necessary edits to meet our standards.
9. Once approved by our team, your project will be open to student applications. If a student applies to your project, it will appear on your dashboard.
10. Review applications and either accept or decline using the ✔ or X beside each application.
NOTE: Students can apply to a maximum of 4 projects at a time. To help them explore other opportunities if your project isn’t the right fit, we encourage you to accept or decline applicants as promptly as possible.
