The opportunity to complete a Management Certificate as well as the Network Security Diploma in just over a year, set UWinnipeg PACE apart when Rogelio Villaver Jr was looking for a post-degree diploma.

“Compared to programs offered by other educational institutions, PACE is the only institution that offers advanced CISCO courses as well integrating the Management Certificate to hone students’ soft skills,” says Rogelio, who graduated from PACE’s Network Security Diploma in 2018.

With a background in electronics and communication engineering from the Technological Institute of the Philippines, the post-degree Network Security Diploma at PACE offered the opportunity to level up his skills and gain valuable soft skills through the Management Certificate.

“Make the most of the management courses because even if you are in the technical field there is a high chance you will need to take on management tasks too,” says Rogelio.

Rogelio transitioned from student to teacher shortly after graduating from the UWinnipeg program. As instructor at Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT), which partners with UWinnipeg PACE to deliver the Network Security Diploma, Rogelio puts his soft skills to work when teaching CISCO and other technical courses to new cohorts of PACE students.
