Hands-on work experience undertaken by a student is an integral part of Data Science program. Work experience provide opportunities for the program and its community to combine resources to further the student's knowledge, personal interest, career path and employability skills through activities at work sites. Therefore, students taking a job related to data analysis can earn work experience credits. The typical work includes a research assistant job in statistical analysis, or data analyst in a financial, IT or industrial organization. Usually the minimum length of employment to qualify for 3 credit is 12 weeks. Students may earn up to maximum 6 credits (e.g., an 8-month job or two 4 month jobs).
