  Unconventional superconductors are of high interest due to their rich
physics, a topical example being topological edge-states associated with
$p$-wave superconductivity. A practical obstacle in studying such systems is
the very low critical temperature $T_\text{c}$ that is required to realize a
$p$-wave superconducting phase in a material. We predict that the $T_\text{c}$
of an intrinsic $p$-wave superconductor can be significantly enhanced by
coupling it via an atomically thin ferromagnetic layer (F) to a conventional
$s$-wave or a $d$-wave superconductor with a higher critical temperature. We
show that this $T_\text{c}$-boost is tunable via the direction of the
magnetization in F. Moreover, we show that the enhancement in $T_\text{c}$ can
also be achieved using the Zeeman-effect of an external magnetic field. Our
findings provide a way to increase $T_\text{c}$ in $p$-wave superconductors in
a controllable way and make the exotic physics associated with such materials
more easily accessible experimentally.
