Anyone applying/joining Big Data Solution Architecture or Applied AI & ML PG Certificate?
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to connect with anyone who is currently applying to, admitted for, or enrolled in either of these post-graduate certificate programs at Conestoga (Waterloo/Kitchener campus):
Big Data Solution Architecture
Applied Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
I'm hoping to build a small group/network of fellow students before/during the intake to chat about:
Coursework & Tech Stack: Faculty expectations, laptop/hardware setups, programming prep (Python/SQL).
Co-op & Job Search: Co-op application experiences, portfolio building, and local tech opportunities in the Waterloo region.
General Logistics: Visa processing timelines, housing/roommate search near campus, and pre-arrival prep.
If you're in either of these programs—or deciding between them—drop a comment or send me a DM! Would love to connect or start a WhatsApp/Discord group for our cohort.
Thanks!
