Holland College will offer two new eight-month post-graduate certificate programs in September of 2021 and January of 2022.

The Project Management program and Data Analytics program were developed to enable students who already have a post-secondary diploma or degree to augment their skills as they prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce. Holland College president Dr. Alexander (Sandy) MacDonald said the programs were developed to meet the demands of industry.

“Our new strategic plan, Shaping Futures, reinforces our commitment to provide engaging programs that meet the needs of industry and tomorrow’s workforce,” he said. “Industry indicated that there was a demand for project managers and data analysts, so we have developed these programs in response.”

The Data Analytics program will focus on descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics using statistical models, forecasting tools, optimization, and simulation. Practitioners will better understand business performances, be able to make predictions about future performance, and develop interventions based on these predictions. The Project Management program teaches students the skills, tools, and techniques to successfully manage projects from a wide variety of industries. Graduates will be prepared to initiate, plan, execute, monitor, and control a project to ensure its success. Both programs will have intakes in September and January.

The college also offers a post-graduate program in Journalism and Communications. For more information about all of the programs, visit hollandcollege.com, call 1-800-446-5265, or email recruitment@hollandcollege.com.
