Riipen Information Session - July 7th - 12:00 to 1:00 PM

Humber College was selected to receive funding for expanding Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) across campus. The funding is provided by a partnership between the Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER) and Riipen.

BHER announced a collaborative partnership with Riipen, the world’s largest marketplace of WIL experiences for students. This partnership is made possible by a $2.6 million investment from the Government of Canada and in-kind support from Riipen to deliver 12,000 new Work-Integrated Learning experiences across Canada by March 2022.

Until March 2022, Humber College can use Riipen to:

  • Find Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) and Experiential Learning (EL) experiences that allow students to develop career-ready citizenship skills and mindsets that align with the Humber Learning Outcomes (HLOs)
  • Manage industry partnerships and existing relationships with companies  by using project management tools
  • Incorporate real-world projects into the classroom and increase student engagement by providing meaningful exposure to companies and nonprofit organizations
  • Track and manage industry partner feedback that also gets added to student portfolios

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)

Placement Advisors can leverage Riipen to find placements and internships for students that align with the Humber/program/course Learning Outcomes as part of a WIL course, manage industry partnerships and existing relationships with companies by using project management tools.

Experiential Learning (EL)

Faculty can leverage Riipen to engage students in high-impact learning activities such as real-world projects and authentic assessments while introducing learners to corporate cultures and non-profit organizations.

Riipen will be offering information sessions on how to provide more work-integrated learning opportunities for their students. The first information session will be July 7 at 12 to 1 p.m. The next information session will be offered in September.

Topic: Transitioning in Higher Education: Exploring Advocacy and Support

Trans and gender diverse students often carry the weight of self-advocacy and seeking support within higher education, often struggling to find the right allies and support that will help them succeed in higher education institutions that do not make it clear that they belong there. Meditating on the reminder that "ally" is not an identity, how do we move towards actionable steps as faculty/staff, administrators, and community members to ensure the success of trans and gender diverse students? As a student who has publicly transitioned in higher education, Kain invites the community to imagine a campus where their success is not an anomaly but the norm. Investigating themes of discomfort, allyship in the classroom and beyond, and the invisible struggles of trans and gender diverse students.

Bio: Kain (They/He) is a recent graduate of Social Service Work who serves 2SLGBTQ+ and deeply-rooted* youth as a peer support worker and facilitator. They have chosen to intentionally use their lived experience as a transmasculine person, with all of his intersecting identities, to complicate global conversations around gender and disrupt binary thought. He works from the belief that we must create our own networks of support, shared knowledge, and resources outside of the systems that exist in the pursuit of liberation for all.
