The team that worked with my business was amazing, they were always listening carefully to my needs, giving frequent feedback, and asking questions when they needed. From my point of view, they all worked very well and I am pleased with the results.

Thank you for allowing your students to work with me on this project.

No complaints here. They were awesome!

no complaints here. they were awesom!

Rana was a pleasure to work with and are completed key work to allow us to complete our first software.

Excellent work by the students and really well-structured program.

Very positive experience working with students. They are motivated, communicate well, and have good follow through.

Joe Varrosso has a keen interest in promoting meaningful engagement with community projects for the learners at Mohawk College.

Joe was very responsive and friedly. But sadly communication with both student teams was very difficult and led us to cancel those internships. But I would try again.

Project moving along nicely. Stephany and her team have been engaged and reaching out proactively with great questions.

The professors and co-op coordinators were a pleasure to work with and provided great support throughout the Riipen Project. The students demonstrated diligence in their work but the final products were satisfactory at best, and there were occasional lapses in professionalism, including missed deadlines and poor communication.

It was a great experience. The students were focussed and on point.

Dr. Douglas was a great partner and Mohawk College students are extremely talented. I am very pleased with their performance. Would highly recommend.

As a new founder of a startup seeking additional support, my experience has been fantastic! I've recommended Riipen and Mohawk College to many people and look forward to continuing my collaboration with Mohawk College while supporting other learning opportunities for students.

We had a great experience working with Douglas and his students. They were clever, capable, and worked well independently. Our team of three students developed a functional mobile app that we can now use to demonstrate our product to customers. I would highly recommend that any company consider working with the students at Mohawk College.

Dr. Douglas Ferrier provided professional and helpful communication throughout the project. His consistent and prompt responses to inquiries were a positive guide in the process of getting to know and work with the students. The student team was a pleasure to work with. Their commitment and engagement with the project stood out very positively.

I believe the students in this program may be highly capable in the right setting and with the correct group.

Doug was great to communicate with and set clear expectations from the get go. I had a lot of questions and was always available to answer.

It was a pleasure working with Dr. Ferrier and the assigned project team. The entire process went smoothly and any questions were quickly answered by either Dr. Ferrier or the students. The finished product far exceeded expectations.

Great to work with!

The students I got to work with were fantastic. Enthusiastic, adaptable, go-getter, problem-solving, and responsive. If all the students are like the ones I had, I would want to hire them all myself!

Thank you Dr Ferrier for the great support all through the matching process. The students (Tristan, Bashaar and Nicholas) gave their best in all the tasks assigned to them. I am commending their ability to take other people's perspectives and improve on their delivery as a software engineer.

It was wonderful! Great experience, I would recommend.

Dr. Douglas Ferrier appeared to be knowledgeable and I could have learned a great deal... But I wasn't a fan of the competition to be chosen, after already being chosen. It was all overwhelming and I chose not to participate. I should have been removed from this when it never came to fruition. Thanks

Douglas was great to work with; efficient and organized! We had a fantastic time with the students as well--extremely good cohort! Would absolutely make working with Mohawk an annual program.

Working with Mohawk College students through Riipen was a fantastic experience. The team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and adaptability—especially when navigating real-world challenges like delayed vendor responses. They helped us build a much-needed mentor portal for our organization, and the final product exceeded our expectations. I’m grateful to Riipen for making this meaningful collaboration possible!

Concise and to the point - Thank you

It was a greatly experience working with Doug and team. I loved the presentations and how everyone recieved feedback. I loved working with the students and how we got to present our businesses so students could select who they wanted to work with. The entire process was smooth and stress free.

The Mohawk team was a pleasure to work with. Fiona, Braeden and Phaedra were a great team and provided great input and output for our platform.

Great job, team. You really put thought and effort into this project. We appreciate how well you understood the brief and delivered the design that is genuinely useful to take the business forward. Honestly, we'll expect this level from professionals already in the field.
