In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
In 2007 I graduated with a Public Relations Diploma and Management Certificate (now the Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Communication Diploma). This program helped to enhance my BA, which I had received previously.
After graduating, I worked in the lifestyles and entertainment industry, doing a variety of promotional work, including event management. My studies helped me to create low-cost events, while increasing the client’s visibility, sales and customer traffic.
Danielle Keenan graduated from PACE’s Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Communication Diploma program in October of 2015, which she said led to her landing a position that provides her with the ability to combine her love of politics and public relations. Danielle is the Director of Communications, Liberal Research Bureau for the Government of Canada.

Senior Manager, Media & Community Relations at CentrePort Canada, Jill Chapman says it was her PACE diploma (2002) that allowed her to pursue her dream career in communications.
“I had received my Bachelor of Arts degree from UWinnipeg, and was still really motivated to continue my education while maintaining my first full-time job after university,” explains Chapman. “I wanted to strengthen my skill set to add to my workplace experience.”
