“I chose PACE because this 12-month diploma program was a perfect fit to advance my technical expertise and marketability in the field of data analytics,” says Mahesh Kumar Batti Venkata Naga, who earned his Predictive Analytics Diploma from UWinnipeg PACE in 2022. “The post-degree diploma program provided me with the perfect opportunity in taking my data science skills to the next level and explore the field of predictive analytics.

Prior to studying at UWinnipeg PACE, Mahesh held an Integrated Honors Dual Degree with a Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science in India.

“The program challenged me to think critically and creatively, and I was able to develop a strong foundation in data science concepts. says Mahesh. “This perfectly crafted 1-year PACE course helped me fill in the gap in my current skill set, and to climb up my career ladder, with a minimal break in pursuing relevant education.”

Mahesh landed a role as an Information Technology Consultant at IntegrationWorx Ltd, a firm that develops custom data integration and data management solutions for cloud-based, on-premise and hybrid environments across a wide range of business problems and industries shortly after finishing his program.

“I was able to apply my new skills and knowledge to my work, and contribute to important projects,” says Mahesh. “As part of my work, I primarily design, develop, integrate, and implement information systems business solutions with a primary focus on data integration, data analytics and data science.”

Mahesh says he was well prepared for this role because PACE instructors discussed the real-world scenarios in data science through out the program.

“I was able to apply my existing knowledge to new domains, and I gained hands-on experience working with cutting-edge tools and technologies,” he says.

“My experience at The University of Winnipeg has been transformative, and I am grateful for the excellent education and support provided by the University of Winnipeg's PACE program and management, which has played a vital role in my career progression,” says Mahesh.
