Working with AscentUP / Riipen has been amazing for our company. It gives us a chance to work with up and coming students with a fresh perspective, while providing valuable experience to help them accelerate their learning. We've brought multiple interns into our company as paid employees already!
This is a fantastic way to access talent and to assess their organizational and technical fit with a highly targeted project. I would recommend this program to any employer looking for dedicated talent with a myriad of technical and soft skills!
AscentUP interns demonstrated exceptional technical knowledge and adaptability. Despite challenges, they delivered clear recommendations, solid SEO analysis, practical mock-ups, and a detailed implementation plan, significantly improving our user experience. Their dedication and hard work were truly impressive. I would definitely recommend AscentUP and look forward to working on other projects in the future.
