80-hour, fully-subsidized, data analytics internships for Canadian employers. 

Learners are recent graduates of Lighthouse Labs Data Analytics Program. They are proficient in popular data analytics tools and libraries, and extracting and transforming data using SQL and Python. They are well versed in identifying data trends through statistical models, impactful visualizations using Tableau, and mastered the art of presenting insights effectively to diverse audiences.

Learners are paid a $2000 CAD stipend on completion of the project by Riipen. Employers are not required to provide payment. We are excited to share that we have a wage subsidy program available if you wish to hire a ICT Ignite Plus learner after their project is complete. The program spots are limited and on a first-come-first serve basis. Details can be found here.

Submit a project here for our ICT Ignite team to review. Once approved, learners are not guaranteed yet, but they will apply to your project directly. You will have a chance to review, assess and accept applications, and 2-4 learners should be accepted per project. Get specific in your project description about the skills you're looking for in order to attract the most suitable applicants. 

If you have questions or need help drafting your project content please email us at ictignite@riipen.com. You can also find all of our help articles here.

ICT Ignite Plus is offered as part of the ICT Boost Initiative. Funded in part by the Government of Canada's Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program (SWSP).

They are proficient in data manipulation, analysis, and visualization using tools like Python and SQL. They are adept at extracting insights from complex datasets and have hands-on experience with data cleaning, transforming, and modeling techniques. Graduates are skilled in using data visualization libraries and tools to effectively communicate findings to stakeholders. Additionally, they have a solid understanding of statistical concepts and methodologies, enabling them to make data-driven decisions and draw meaningful conclusions. With a focus on problem-solving and critical thinking, they are prepared to contribute valuable insights and contributions towards your project.

Deliverables will vary depending on the project scope. At the conclusion of the project you will have assets that can be used to further your business goals, such as a completed analysis report.

Note: If learners are completing confidential work that you do not want shared through Riipen, you can create and sign off on a timesheet for the learner. In this case, we might also recommend that you have the learners sign an NDA before starting your project. You can use the Agreements feature to do this.
