Students in the Game Development program are trained to tackle both creative and technical challenges in collaborative, team-based environments. With a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, students build real games as part of their training, developing a portfolio that reflects their capabilities in design, development, and production. Supported by experienced faculty, they’re prepared to contribute to meaningful, industry-relevant projects.
Participating employers gain access to curious, capable, and career-ready students who are eager to apply their skills to meaningful challenges. Projects are divided into three distinct phases, each requiring 60 hours of student work. Upon completing each phase, students are paid a $1,400 stipend—fully covered through Riipen and the Government of Canada’s Innovative Work-Integrated Learning (I-WIL) Initiatives program. There is no cost to you.
