In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to acheiving your career goals.
“This program will give you the tools you need to be successful in the communication industry but it’s up to you to use those tools to build a great future,” says Sonny Primolo, a graduate of the Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communication Diploma program at UWinnipeg PACE and valedictorian of his class in 2017.
“The fact that PACE offered an accelerated program really caught my eye,” says Stacie Ritchie, who says she didn’t want to spend years sitting in a classroom. “I did quite a bit of research and found that PACE had an extremely high success rate which really made this choice easy for me.”
“I chose UWinnipeg PACE because I really wanted to challenge myself,” says Theressa Genaille, who graduated from the Educational Assistant Diploma in 2019.
“I felt like it was a good fit for a student like myself; I love learning, the population is incredibly diverse, and I am the first in my family to graduate from a university program, which is huge deal for the indigenous community here in Winnipeg.”
Stacie Laurencelle was looking for a competitive edge to enhance and align her wide-ranging experience when she took her Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designation at PACE in 2009.
“The small class size and the diverse perspectives and experiences of students enrolled in the program provided for meaningful discussions and understanding of risk,” says Stacie, who has been the Manager, Insurance at Richardson International for the past five years.
With several professional certifications in her pocket, including a Lean Sigma Yellow Belt Certification, Paula Shaver is always keen to broaden her skill set, to advance her career, and to pursue opportunities that open additional doors for career – which lead her to UWinnipeg PACE.
