We recommend choosing a template in our library.
When drafting your project, remember you’re addressing two audiences: learners and the Riipen team.
1. Learners
Your project should help learners build workforce-ready skills. Consider their perspective: interests, availability, and the ability to complete the project in 60 hours over 2 to 8 weeks depending on the cohort breakdown (maximum 30 hours per week).
Your posting must describe a fully-developed project, not a job description. Include clear deliverables, such as source code, presentations, or marketing materials, and specify what learners will upload upon project completion. If under an NDA, clarify how deliverables will be handled.
2. Riipen team
We evaluate projects for clarity, alignment with educational goals, and completeness. Ensure you include:
Goal, scope, expectations, and deliverables
Required skills, resources, and mentorship plans
When reviewing completed projects as part of the payment process, the Riipen team will evaluate against the project scope outlined in your original posting. Ensure the description is accurate and detailed to avoid delays.
Employers can match two projects per cohort. Each project is limited to 2 learners.

Is the goal clear?
Is the scope manageable in 60 hours?
Are deliverables and expectations detailed?
