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 while staying achievable within the program timeline. Consider their ability to complete the project within 60 hours over 10 weeks.
We recommend designing the core project to require approximately 50–55 hours of work. This allows 5–10 hours for incorporating your feedback and making revisions. Allocating time this way helps ensure learners can refine their work and deliver higher-quality final outputs without exceeding the 60-hour limit.
Your posting must describe a fully developed project, not a job description. Include clear, tangible deliverables - such as source code, presentations, or marketing materials - and specify exactly what learners will upload upon completion. If the project is under an NDA, clearly explain 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 4 learners.
