Chuck Lewis

Owner, Mr. Electric Human Resource Management Student

THE SUCCESS OF OUR STUDENTS IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.

Dana Cherski Stella’s Cafe & Bakery

Human Resource Management Diploma

“I felt that human resource management

was a perfect link between psychology and

business, and an area in which I could apply

what I learned in the restaurant industry

and at school into my future career.”

Dana, a UWinnipeg BA (Hons) psychology

graduate, was working as a server at Stella’s

Café & Bakery. A chance conversation

about PACE inspired her to enrol. After

graduating from PACE in 2016, Dana

was promoted to Director of Human

Resources with Stella’s, a position that

sees her recruiting, training, on-boarding,

and developing policies for the company’s

seven Winnipeg locations.

Alexandra Acevedo ArtecheInformation Security Analyst,

Great-West Life

Network Security Diploma

“I was working as a security professional in

Bogotá , Colombia and I wanted a course

that would complement my experience.”

Alexandra researched a number of Canadian

programs online, but was attracted to PACE’s

Network Security Diploma because it provides

a solid foundation in network security,

was condensed, and allowed her to earn a

management certificate at the same time.

necessary step for my career. And being

able to return to the working world in

job market requires flexibility and broad

knowledge in public relations, marketing,

“The best part of a career in business analysis

and project management is it allows me to

work with people from all backgrounds and

every day. I love it.”

Taiwo had completed a master’s degree

he heard about UWinnipeg’s PACE diploma
