Innovating new methods to interpret vast volumes of data sourced from websites, transactions, records, and images is key to addressing numerous present-day business, social, societal, and technological challenges. Big data plays a crucial role in empowering users to make well-informed decisions and accurately predict future outcomes.

The Ontario College Graduate Certificate program in Big Data Analytics at Lambton College is centered around harnessing big data technology to process unstructured data, aiding executives, managers, and industries in their decision-making processes.

The forward-thinking curriculum will emphasize critical areas such as information management, development, project management, and effective business communication. Coupled with Business Intelligence tools, data analytics, and cloud computing, students will merge theoretical understanding with practical skills to master the art of capturing, collecting, organizing, searching, analyzing, and storing complex datasets utilized by organizations for informed business decisions. The program’s final semester will further enrich the learning experience through either a cooperative education work term or an applied project.

Apart from gaining comprehensive proficiency in virtualization deployment, data analytics, cloud computing theory, project management, and business communications, students will have the opportunity to apply these skills to a diverse range of cutting-edge virtualization solutions, both open-source and vendor-specific.
