In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
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.
“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.
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.
After graduating from university with a degree in psychology and labour studies, Chelsea Kaufmann enrolled in PACE’s Human Resource Management program to gain the skills she needed to follow her passion and find employment.
“Nowadays, it can be very difficult to find a job with a general bachelor’s degree,” she said. “I chose PACE because it seemed like it offered a more concentrated view in the field that I was interested in.”
Samantha Pomareda is passionate about helping others. That’s why she enrolled in PACE’s Human Resource Management program as a mature student after a nearly 20-year career with CancerCare Manitoba.
“I came to a point where I needed a new and rewarding role in my life,” says Samantha. “Having family responsibilities, I wanted a program that could ensure a successful new beginning for my life.”
