Professional and Community Engagement

• Half of PACE courses are held as workshops where you can develop professional skills and half in the workspace where you can put that knowledge to use.
• You will be matched with your internship based on your studies and your interests. Past internships include media and communications, event organisation, marketing, health, and policy analysis.
