Jamaica - Yanique Brighton

Yanique Brighton

"PACE provided practical training in project management with industry-recognized professionals as instructors,” says Yanique Brighton. Yanique earned her Project Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE and was able to secure her current role as Senior HR Business Partner at Lifetouch shortly afterwards.

“Several factors were taken into consideration when I selected UWinnipeg PACE as the institution of study,” says Yanique, who also holds a Bachelor of Science in Management Studies from The University of the West Indies, Mona in Jamaica prior to enrolling at UWinnipeg PACE.

“Experienced instructors with vast industry experience, a recognized institution, the internship component, a central location in the heart of the city, and earning double certification in one program. I was able to complement my human resources experience and training with project management knowledge.”

Yanique says one of the most valuable lessons from her PACE experience came from the writing courses like Effective Written Communication and Effective Project Reporting.

“These courses are designed not only to enhance one’s writing skills but to develop one’s attention to details. The courses taught me to be mindful of my audience when communicating.”

As PACE alumni, Yanique is giving back to her university community. “After completing the program, I had the opportunity of being asked by the school to tutor/mentor a group of students in effective project reporting and it was an absolute pleasure."
