        Sonny started his career as Communications Assistant at The Winnipeg Foundation after completing an internship with Winnipeg Airport Authority. After a year at the Foundation, he was promoted to his current role as a Communications Advisor.

        “PACE provided me with such a wide range of skills and abilities to do my job effectively,” he says. “The Winnipeg Foundation works with hundreds of inspiring grantees and donors My PACE experience has provided me with a wide range of skills to honour and share inspiring stories from our amazing community.”

        “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.”
         
        With a background in hospitality and tourism management, Stacie was looking to make her next career move into human resource management. She graduated with a Human Resource Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE in 2018 and was able to quickly secure a position as Human Resources Administrator at CWB National Leasing.

        “We are a growing company so I wear many different hats,” she says. Some of her responsibilities include facilitating orientations and onboarding initiatives for new hires, overseeing service awards, assisting with recruitment processes and collaborating with others in the organization and across the country, among other tasks.

         “I am so thankful for PACE as I have landed my dream job right out of school, learned a lot and made some lifelong friends along the way,” she says. Stacie says the real-life scenarios that each instructor brought to the classroom helped prepare her for her role.

        “We were able to learn from their experiences and get a better feel of the industry we were getting into. The instructors also helped prepare us for what HR professionals are looking for when hiring.”

        “The HR industry is growing and there will always be a need for it. You will be pulled in multiple directions all with deadlines you need to meet. I feel confident in completing tasks in my current role thanks to PACE.”

        “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.”

        “I wanted to be an Educational Assistant because of how underrepresented Indigenous leaders are in education. When I was in my youth, I really craved that guidance, and unfortunately, did not get it,” says Theressa. “Being an EA lets you give that one-on-one connection that many students in the system need. You become the go-to adult, and build life-changing support for those that require it the most.”

        Theressa says her most memorable lesson from PACE was a conversation she had with an instructor while she was going through a rough period in the middle of the program.

        “He had said that I had something special to share. That piece of advice has really helped me to not lose my sparkle and to remember why I chose the EA program in the first place.”

        Paula Shaver

        Paula Shaver

        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.

        Paula completed PACE’s Management Certificate in 2018. Paula is a Client Account Manager at Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, where she has worked for the past 26 years. She has been in her current position for the last two years.

        Juggling a full-time job, small business, being a wife, the mother of three children between the ages of 9 and 19, and making time for the cottage and travelling with her family, meant Paula Shaver was looking for a program that met her needs when she decided to upgrade her skills.

        “I loved the online PACE courses where I could work at a pace that suited my busy life 24/7 no matter where I was,” she says. “My PACE experience gave me skills with oral and written communication and organizational behaviour; skills I could put to use every day.”

        “The best advice I can give others who are interested in PACE programs is just do it, take the plunge, you won’t regret it. If you try to wait for a time in your life that you think will accommodate school, life will pass you by and you’ll never reach your goals. PACE enables you to do it all.”

        “I chose PACE primarily because of the course length,” says Draper Scott Houston. Draper graduated from PACE’s Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communications (PRMSC) Diploma in 2011 and has been working as a Communications & Branding Specialist at Boeing Canada since 2017.

        After 10 years as an armoured reconnaissance soldier, Draper was re-entering the civilian world and wanted to enter the workforce quickly. He chose PACE because he could complete his program in one year.

        “The fact that [the] instructors were industry professionals teaching real-life skills based on their experience was a huge factor as well,” he says. “The size of the class allowed you to gain one-on-one time with the instructor who was actually someone from the industry.”

        “PACE provided me a solid foundation. Without PACE, I wouldn’t have the basics that I use in my current position everyday.”

        Draper’s advice to students in the PRMSC program? Network!

        ‘Network. Network. Network. The classes are very thorough and you learn a ton, but in this line of work, nothing replaces a solid contact list. The program does a great job of pointing you in the right direction.”

        Tanya Penner

        Tanya Penner

        In 2014, I graduated from the University of Winnipeg with a Bachelor of Arts in English (Hons.). My BA transformed me into the writer and storyteller that I am today, but I knew that I needed something extra that would allow me to apply my talent in a field where being an effective communicator was an essential skill. After doing a lot of research, I decided that a career in Marketing and Communications was a perfect fit for me. I could use the skills I had worked so hard to build to and put them to use in an industry where expressing big ideas with the right words is everything.

        I chose PACE because of the length of the program, and because the comprehensive classes give you the tools to prepare you for a career in PR, Marketing, or Communications. The range of topics covered educate you with the depth of knowledge required for roles in many industries. My most memorable PACE experience is the time spent in class learning with other bright, motivated people. You’re all immersed in the experience together, and as a result you form lasting friendships.

        One of my instructors also became my mentor. That’s memorable for me because her guidance has helped me a great deal in my professional development and driven me to accomplish more goals in one year than I ever thought possible. It’s really important to surround yourself with people who believe in your abilities while completing this program, and she gave me that support.

        I would recommend PACE to anyone who is either starting a career and wants a competitive advantage, or who wants to change careers and needs to be career-ready quickly. You’ll learn from talented instructors who are already in the industry, so they know what you need to succeed in your field. If you’re confident that PR, Marketing or Communications is your passion, PACE will get you ready for the workforce.

        PACE helped me achieve my personal goals by preparing me for work right out of school. I got an amazing job almost immediately after I finished my internship at one of Western Canada’s most well-respected agencies, McKim Communications Group. I knew that I wanted to be in a fast-paced agency environment where I would get to work on all kinds of different projects and with clients in many different industries. I get to work with some of the best and most creative people in the business because of the skills I acquired from PACE.

        If you decide to make the leap and take this program, it will not be easy. You will live and breathe PR, Marketing and Comms for 13 months, and you will have to make sacrifices. But when you emerge, you’ll be ready to take on the world and live a life of passion doing what you love.
