In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
Rachel O’Connor graduated in June of 2015 from the full-time Human Resources Management Diploma program having already secured a position at Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI).
“PACE basically led me right into my career,” she says. “I found interesting, stimulating employment" three weeks into an internship she was completing for the program.
Before coming to PACE, Rachel was working in the non-profit sector.
Prior to enrolling at PACE, Thomas Estante was working in an inclusion support program in a child care centre, but he knew that he wanted to widen his skill set, and find work in a school setting.
The part-time Educational Assistant Diploma gave him the opportunity to do so, while still allowing him to work.
Areej Tahboub is using the opportunities she received in PACE to help provide opportunities for others.
I am a graduate of the Educational Assistant Diploma Program offered through the University of Winnipeg. I think one of the best features of this program is the instructors and staff. It was obvious that they really wanted to see their students succeed and worked hard to bring out our talents and confidence. The environment at the Buhler Centre was positive and inspiring. I liked that the program offered a practicum in my school division.
As a recent graduate of the Educational Assistant Diploma Program it is extremely satisfying to apply what I learned in class to a school environment. I am currently working for the Winnipeg School Division, at École Sacré-Coeur and École Robert H. Smith, as an EA level B and C respectively.
