CALGARY — RoboGarden and Riipen have partnered to provide career-acceleration opportunities for adults in digital skills development programs through Digital Boost.
Participants in RoboGarden-powered programs can opt for an up-to-80-hour experiential learning experience with Riipen. This involves reportedly completing real-world projects in full stack development or machine learning and artificial intelligence for industry clients sourced by Riipen.
The initiative is supported by Canada’s federal government’s Innovative Work-Integrated Learning (I-WIL) initiatives program, offering participants a $1,400 stipend upon project completion. The collaboration targets enhancing employability through practical skills application and aims to meet the growing demand for digital talent in North America’s workforce.
Dr Mohamed Elhabiby, president and co-founder of RoboGarden said, “As Western Canadian companies both innovating to create new sources of high-demand talent, RoboGarden is delighted to collaborate with Riipen on the Digital Boost program, which offers an invaluable opportunity for digital career upskillers and reskillers to immediately apply new skills and gain valuable workplace exposure, helping them transition into sustainable, satisfying careers.”
Dana Stephenson, co-founder and CEO of Riipen said, “By combining RoboGarden’s comprehensive digital skills training with Riipen’s access to real-world projects and industry partners, we provide participants with invaluable opportunities to apply their new skills in meaningful ways.”
