In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
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.
I am from West Africa. I am married and have three children. Two weeks after my arrival to Canada, I started working in a retail store in order to improve my English. As I am originally from a French speaking country my English level was low. I worked in retail for three years. I found that I was able to adapt quickly and efficiently to the Canadian culture and to many different working environments.
