Project Management Diploma, Class of 2015

Contract Manager-Team Lead, SkipTheDishes

“My experience with PACE has been a wonderful journey of learning and application.

PACE helped me in the best manner possible; especially, the staff and the instructors.

They helped me to become comfortable within a new culture, and settle in Canada.”

ALEXANDRA ACEVEDO ARTECHE, COLUMBIA

Network Security, Class of 2016

Information Security Analyst, Great-West Life

“I researched a number of Canadian programs, but was attracted to PACE’s Network

Security Diploma because it was condensed, and enabled me to earn a Management Certificate

at the same time. Winnipeg offers immigrants more opportunities, such as a one-year

employment permit, which allowed me to gain Canadian work experience.”

TRACELYN CORNELIUS, ANTIGUA & BARBUDA

Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Communication, Class of 2016

Communications Officer, Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre

“I was a publicist and journalist in the Caribbean, so had many years of experience in marketing

and communications. The Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Communication program

allowed me to quickly acclimatize to a new job market after moving to Canada.”

TAIWO OLABODE KEHINDE, NIGERIA

Project Management, Class of 2016

Business Analyst, Mantioba eHealth

“I wanted a more hands-on program, and that is what attracted me to come to here.

My training at PACE gave me the full Canadian experience, which I was able to

leverage in securing a good job.”

LINCOLN AMEMIYA, BRAZIL

Financial Management, Class of 2016

Financial Analyst, Loblaws

“I wanted to gain international experience, and researched many places before selecting

the PACE program. It was a perfect fit for me, very hands-on and up-to-date. We were also

exposed to visiting professionals from the financial sector and really experienced instructors.”

How We Are DifferentPACE offers professional and applied post-degree level programs to those who want to focus their education on specialized career fields in high growth employment sectors. Our graduates enjoy a high employment rate, and successful alumni identify the comprehensive nature of PACE full-time programs as a key factor to their success.

THE PACE ADVANTAGE

The PACE competitive advantage results from our high academic standards, incredible team of instructors, and industry-aligned

curriculum. This prepares PACE graduates for employment and accreditation exams, at which PACE students continually outperform

others. Finally, similar programs in other parts of Canada span over two years with fewer courses, while PACE graduates are job-ready

in one year or less.
