“I wanted a quick but impactful career transition when I moved to Canada,” says Junice Savares, who earned her Web Development Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE in 2020. “I value my time and experience most, so the Web Development program at PACE was the perfect fit for me to learn a new field and start my career in a new country.”
Prior to studying at UWinnipeg, Junice held a Bachelor of Science in Digital Media Production from the University of Central Missouri in USA.
“As someone who came from the media and broadcasting industry, I felt a sense of connection knowing that my peers came from various industries but shared the same goal,” says Junice. “We formed a strong bond, providing support to each other both professionally and personally. The unique sense of community, consisting of individuals with diverse experiences, allowed us to learn from one another effortlessly.”
Junice completed a 4-week internship at PACE before heading into the job market.
“Through my internship with PACE, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the technical and creative aspects involved in managing a website. I was able to effectively integrate my skills in graphic design and video production with the new skills I acquired in web development,” she says.
“PACE served as the stepping stone for my career start in Canada,” says Junice. “They facilitated connections to the right people, which led me to work in one of the city's top PR agencies. This experience eventually helped me secure my current position as the Director of Brand Development at Endeavour Network of Companies.”
Endeavour is a lifestyle company that invests in, serves and builds other businesses in industries that hold the promise of creating opportunities for people to live better lives, create better customer experiences, and gain greater freedom – one such example being Endeavour Wealth Management.
As a Director of Brand Development, Junice is responsible for planning and executing strategies to amplify the company's marketing, lead generation, and technical expansion. She is also involved in enhancing the client experience, both in-person and digitally, and bringing Endeavour’s impactful vision to life.
“My most valuable lesson from PACE is investing in your connections with your peers, teachers, and PACE staff,” says Junice. “Share your goals, learn from their experiences, and keep their advice in mind. Being open will help you go far in your career!”
Her advice to others considering studying at PACE is this: “Be intentional of your time in your classes. Passing your classes may be enough for others but to truly excel in your career, take advantage of the knowledge and experiences shared by your instructors,” she says.
