Company Website Development for Riipen Phase 2

Riipen, a company focused on connecting students with real-world projects, requires a new website to enhance its online presence and improve user engagement. The current website lacks modern design elements and intuitive navigation, which can deter potential users. The goal of this project is to create a user-friendly, visually appealing website that effectively communicates Riipen's mission and services. The project will involve designing a responsive layout, ensuring compatibility across various devices, and integrating essential features such as a project showcase, user testimonials, and a contact form. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their web development skills, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and basic UX/UI principles, in a real-world context.

AI-Assisted Scoring System Proposal for Riipen

The project aims to explore and propose a structure for an AI-assisted scoring system on the Riipen platform. The primary goal is to identify which types of learner activities should be scored for completion and which should be qualitatively assessed with AI assistance. This involves understanding the nature of activities on Riipen and determining how AI can enhance the evaluation process. The project will require understanding current capabilities within Riipen for tracking completion and for scoring activities, and proposing an updated system that is both effective and adaptable. Key considerations include the types of activities that benefit from AI assessment, the design of scoring metrics, and the configurability of the scoring system to accommodate diverse educational contexts.

Comprehensive Employee Handbook Review and Update

Our Employee Handbook serves as a one stop shop for Riipen team members to navigate their employment and journey at Riipen. It was published in 2021, and updated regularly by our People and Culture. As we approach the 5 year mark, we want to undertake a more comprehensive review and update. The branding and style are out of date and need to be refreshed based on our new brand and style guide, but more importantly we want to assess usability, clarity, and compliance with HR best practice. We know the Handbook is not as engaging and user friendly as it could be, and we want this project to get us there. This project will give learners the opportunity to learn about the full employee lifecycle and all the people and culture processes that support that lifecycle. Learners will get a true HR generalist's view - they will be updating guides to everything from benefits, time-off, expenses, remote work policies, learning and development, and performance management. Creating and updating employee resources to align to both company and industry practices is something most HR/P&C professionals have to do on a regular basis - this projects is one that we hope you can showcase to potential employers as evidence of your hands on experience as a P&C generalist!

The focus on defining, documenting, and evolving the company's culture is a testament to Riipenโ€™s dedication to creating a great workplace. I am grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to Riipen's cultural narrative and am confident that the final culture deck will serve as a strong compass for both new and existing Riipeneers.
