Note from the students:
Our team, The Griffins, representing St Clair College, had the honor of participating in an International Data Analytics competition organized by the University of New Brunswick (UNB) on November 24, 2023.
We are overjoyed to announce that we were awarded the First Prize for the Analytics presentation, standing out among the 96 teams from around the globe, including some top Universities and colleges within Canada, who participated in the challenge. Additionally, we secured a Second Prize in the Teaser Poster round.
The competition involved analyzing the HR EMPLOYEE ATTRITION dataset from Kaggle, provided by the UNB. We utilized tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Python, and Machine Learning to craft our presentation.
Our work was met with high praise from the judges, who also commended St Clair College for nurturing such talent in Windsor. One judge even remarked, "There's something really good happening in Windsor."
We applied the analytical, visualization, and presentation skills imparted to us by St Clair College. We are deeply grateful to all the 'Data Analytics for Business' professors, especially Prof. Manjari Maheswari, Harpreet Virk, Mark Cassar, John Ulakovich, and Pratik Bedi. Your invaluable support, guidance, mentorship, and motivation have been instrumental in our journey. We deeply appreciate your trust in our team from the beginning of the competition.
