In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
“My year at PACE allowed me to meet a mosaic of cultures, wonderful people, and enjoy being a student again, but at the same time PACE prepared me to integrate into the labour market,” says Nelly Blancas, Project Manager at Manitoba Hydro International (MHI). Nelly graduated with a Project Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE in 2017.
"PACE provided practical training in project management with industry-recognized professionals as instructors,” says Yanique Brighton. Yanique earned her Project Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE and was able to secure her current role as Senior HR Business Partner at Lifetouch shortly afterwards.
“PACE was the start of everything,” says Daniel Strehl, who earned his Project Management Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE in 2021. “From building a solid network to polishing my previous knowledge in project management, and providing me with the opportunity to attend an internship experience.”
Daniel completed an internship at the City of Winnipeg to finish off his 12-month program before heading into the job market.
Priscilla Rios is a Director for Aramark Canada in Winnipeg. She found that PACE provided her with the knowledge she needed to start her career in marketing, public relations, and strategic communication.
“The PACE program has a great team of instructors,” Priscilla says. “They are willing to go an extra mile for you if they see you are taking the program seriously, and that support is priceless!”
As an international student, PACE proved to be an excellent choice for building my education and life experience with an incredibly designed program. I got to meet students from around the world and learning became a way of connecting with your classmates through discussing and debating diverse ideas, and interacting with our experienced instructors. PACE gave me the unique opportunity to showcase my talents, improve my skills and most importantly, have fun while doing it.
