Program overview
The one year post-baccalaureate artificial intelligence and data analytics certificate with a paid co-operative work term attached, combining the same applied analytics content with documented industry placement.
For a degree holder converting into data work, the co-op is what turns a certificate into an employable profile, because analytics hiring rests on demonstrated experience with real organisational data. The additional cost over the non co-op version buys exactly that evidence plus employer references.
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics with Co-op is a variant of a programme the institution publishes on its list of eligible programmes under CIP code 30.7101, so the same field of study position applies. Confirm the variant is covered before you rely on it. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics with Co-op with a partner should plan on a single income.
