Welcome Back!
Back-to-school season brings on powerful feelings of optimism and energy to campuses everywhere. Therefore, it's a great time to welcome our latest higher education institutions joining the Riipen work-based learning movement this fall.
Welcome Georgetown University! Partnering to boost job training & employability outcomes.
Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies (SCS) & Riipen have partnered to enhance job training, improve employability outcomes, and foster new data science and data analytics job opportunities for the School’s certificate holders.
The pilot program, launching its first cohort on October 16, is expected to yield positive outcomes for learners and employers, demonstrating the power of combining academic rigor with practical experience.
Welcome to these new partners working with us to create equitable access to skill-building opportunities with real employer projects.
