"PACE has been a great contributor to my success. The connections I made with classmates and instructors were invaluable," says Tuyen (Alice) Nguyen, a PACE alumna who completed her Advanced Business Management Diploma in April 2024. Currently, she is a Finance Controller at the Government of Manitoba, playing a key role in financial operations and contributing to community development.

Alice's journey to success was marked by persistence and resilience. Starting her career in Canada as a PACE student, she found the program to be a game-changer, easing her transition and enhancing her adaptability to the Canadian job market.

She credits PACE for helping her build profound connections that supported her job search and strengthened her mental fortitude. "They supported me in my job search and were pillars of my mental strength."

"The practical lessons at PACE, from project-relevant courses to resume-building and cultural dimensions, were crucial in my transition to the Canadian work environment," Alice reflects. Her journey is a testament to the power of dedication and the right educational support.

Alice advises students to "keep striving and believing; your efforts will pay off." Her story encourages all to continue inspiring each other with their achievements.
