Karla: Continuing to expand potential
Having moved to Vancouver from Ecuador in 2016, Karla was looking to develop a deeper understanding of Canadian business and management practices. She was already working as a logistics manager, and wanted to position herself for growth. She enrolled in UFV’s Management Skills Certificate, and loved the diversity within the classroom, and the instructors’ breadth of experience. She graduated not only ready to take on new challenges, but also with a deeper understanding of her own leadership potential.
Yvonne: Continuing to discover herself
Working as an assistant in a small company, Yvonne spotted an opportunity to expand her role – and her knowledge. She asked her employer if further study would be useful, and received a hearty endorsement – and sponsorship to take UFV’s Human Resources Management Certificate. Not only did Yvonne learn a lot about HR, she also rediscovered her sense of self- confidence – something that had waned since her early career days. And regardless of where her career eventually leads, she says regaining her inner sense of self-direction has already proved invaluable.
Maggi: Continuing to finetune skills
With two degrees from UFV already under her belt, Maggi was looking to finetune her skills and level up her output. Getting the chance to develop work-related projects in class that she could hand straight to her boss made the Public Relations Certificate both practical and directly applicable to her role. It also came with additional benefits: a boost in confidence, new ideas and skills that gave her a big step up.
