she did a decent job

1 student was great, the other was not. Overall a good experience

Great experience with the Level UP program. Makes it extremely easy to connect and work with students that have relevant background and skill set.

Both the students that worked on my project were organized and professional. They took feedback well and were flexible with meeting times if we had to move things around. I enjoyed working with both of them.

Although the Riipen SW can be a bit mystifying, generally it works great and is a good system. I appreciate the fact that the students get paid. Happy to taken on more Level Up projects in the future.

Amazing program, great opportunity to meet and work with talented individuals.

''Best Team Yet!" Really loved working with Polina and Christina. I would work with both of them again and if the opportunity arises would offer them employment.

We were able to bring on great students to help us with our AI projects, and made meaningful progress on all of them.

Great program that allowed us to locate exceptional talent for a very specific talent set. Extremely happy with the outcomes.

I am very pleased with the outcome of this project. Lauren and Leo were a great fit and did an excellent job for us.

Guidance for, submission and adjudication of my project proposal were all very clear and timely. I was able to go through all of the necessary steps and receive all of the information I'd needed to submit a project proposal and find a great student for my project!

good

Great program for learners and employers alike. At first, I thought 60 hours would not be enough, but I see that 60 hours is perfect for any project that needs to be completed.

Provided a good opportunity to work with talented students to enrich their experience. Great program

A great experience!

At ABEN HUB, we had the pleasure of working with talented student interns through the Riipen Level UP program, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The program provided us with access to bright, motivated individuals who brought fresh perspectives and real value to our cleantech projects. We commend Riipen for fostering meaningful connections between industry and emerging talent. Programs like Level UP are not only empowering students with practical experience—they’re also helping startups like ours drive innovation forward. We look forward to continuing this collaboration in the future!

It was a great experience working with the Level UP team on this product sourcing project. The students supported me with valuable research into product options, researching tariff updates, and alternative sourcing opportunities—things that are critical for a small business trying to grow sustainably. Their work helped me think more strategically about inventory and supplier decisions. The structure of the program made it easy to collaborate and get meaningful support, and I appreciated how the Level UP team made the process smooth from start to finish. I’d happily take part in future projects!

Working with the Level UP team on this project was a really supportive experience. As a small business owner juggling many tasks, having students step in to help me stay organized and manage different moving pieces made a meaningful difference. The structure of the program allowed them to take ownership of their contributions, while still offering the flexibility needed in a fast-paced small business environment. The educators and program staff were responsive and made the whole process smooth and approachable. I appreciated the opportunity and would definitely participate again.

The project provided a valuable opportunity to explore early-stage industrial design concepts. It served as a good learning experience and helped clarify design goals and expectations for similar future collaborations.

Very great cohort. Thank you for letting us work with your students.

It was a good experience. The Level Up team was helpful and we had some good outcomes out of the project.
