In a world of constant change, a focus on lifelong learning is integral to achieving your career goals.
Dhruv Mehta was a project manager with The Royal Bank of Scotland in India before coming to Canada. Even with his previous project management experience, Dhruv found PACE provided him with instrumental training — including the use of industry-related tools like analytical structuring, budgeting, and procuring, which have broad business applications.
As soon as Taiwo Olabode Kehinde completed his full-time Project Management Diploma through UWinnipeg PACE, he landed a dream job as a project analyst with Manitoba eHealth — and he could not be happier.
“I am really excited; I feel I am giving back,” says Taiwo.
“I wanted to learn while still have a taste of the professional life that I was aspiring to get into after school. PACE was this school for me,” says Felista Karanja, who graduated from UWinnipeg PACE’s Project Management Diploma in 2019. Felista previously earned a BA in International Relations and an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies.
“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.
