Cambrian College, renowned for its Analytics Capstone program, offers a unique opportunity for employers to collaborate with post-graduate learners seeking hands-on experience in analytics. As part of their curriculum, students engage in real-world projects, honing their skills while delivering tangible results for external partners. Learners, equipped with proficiency in Python, R, SQL, Excel, PowerBI, and Tableau, seek projects encompassing data analysis, programming, app development, and more. Employers are invited to facilitate this experiential learning journey by providing guidance, regular communication, and constructive feedback to student teams. By partnering with Cambrian College, employers not only contribute to the development of future analytics professionals but also benefit from innovative solutions tailored to their needs.

This capstone project is part of the Business Analytics (BAPG), Health Analytics (HAGC), and Crime Analytics (CAGC) graduate certificate programs at Cambrian College. The students will participate in various projects involving different types of data, ranging from qualitative data gathering, quantitative data and analysis, technical projects, or other projects that align with their skillsets. This could include but is not limited to large and/or complex data, gathering data, conducting program evaluation, development and deployment of surveys, help with funding applications, create dashboards and analysis, and work with various types of data to support decisions using analytics in a wide array of industries. Students can research, apply analytical models, methodologies, and tools learned in the program to analyze data. Faculty mentors will work with students to ensure the capstone project reflects, and encompasses, best practices for big data analytics and project management.

Our students have the skills to create and manage organizational process change as well as an understanding of how to gather, document, and communicate stakeholder requirements. Students are well suited to recommend and evaluate solutions, provide quality assurance criteria, perform some data modeling and project management. We are looking to create a first-time mentorship opportunity for our students by pairing them with a skilled business analyst at your company who can mentor and support our students through a small project.

Cambrian College's Computer Programming - Internet of Things program offers first-year learners the opportunity to engage in practical, hands-on projects that enhance their technical and employability skills. Students will collaborate in teams to design and implement IoT systems, gaining valuable experience in project management, data analysis, and testing. Through this course, learners aim to build a comprehensive understanding of integrating hardware, software, and communications in real-world applications. As an employer, your role is crucial. We expect you to maintain regular communication with the learners, provide essential guidance and information, and participate virtually in the final presentation. Your constructive feedback will help shape the learning experience, ensuring that students receive professional insights as they navigate their projects on the Riipen platform.
