Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from the Engineering Science Electrical and Computer Engineering capstone course at the University of Toronto to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based design experience. Learners will work on one design design cycle of a project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

This experience is designed for learners in a management skills course, focusing on the practical application of leadership, decision making, negotiation, goal setting, and team building. Participants will have the opportunity to apply these skills in real-world scenarios, enhancing their ability to lead teams, make informed decisions, and negotiate effectively. By engaging in projects that require strategic planning and collaboration, learners will bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, preparing them for future leadership roles.

My learners are equipped to tackle projects in machine learning and statistical learning, having gained proficiency in Python and R. They have engaged with several hands-on courses covering machine learning, statistical data analysis, SQL and database management, Tableau dashboard creation, data engineering, and big data. I am seeking internship projects that will help them apply their skills as part of their data science master’s program. Please note that learners will register for their internship between May and August 2025. If you wish to start working with them during this period, it would be ideal.
