A Change to PACE

More than 3,000 adults who are dedicated to learning new skills and enhancing their careers attend UWinnipeg every year, making PACE one of the fastest-growing areas on campus.

This past January, PACE—Professional, Applied and Continuing Education—replaced the Division of Continuing Education (DCE), which started 30 years ago. PACE more accurately reflects today’s scope of adult programming, which encompasses both full-and part-time certificate and diploma programs.

“PACE is a signal to people that continuing education has expanded and offers many new types of programs—not just professional development but new pathways to education,” said Erin Stewart, Dean of continuing education at UWinnipeg. Find out more at pace.UWinnipegCourses.ca
