At Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE), we see firsthand how meaningful partnerships create pathways that connect learning with opportunity. Whether through workforce training, professional development, industry-aligned programs, or employer engagement, our work is grounded in preparing learners for success while helping meet the evolving talent needs of our region.
Through collaborations with organizations such as Turner Construction, Munters, and the YMCA of Greater San Antonio, we are helping create workforce pathways that benefit learners, employers, and the communities we serve.
As Melissa Mahan, associate vice provost for academic innovation, notes, "Education opens doors, but partnership creates possibility. PaCE is proud to support UT San Antonio's Classroom to Career vision by connecting learners with opportunities that strengthen our workforce and our community."
We are proud to support UT San Antonio's commitment to a Classroom to Career approach that empowers learners, strengthens workforce pipelines, and advances economic growth across San Antonio and South Texas.
During his conversation on The Cilantro Diaries podcast, Mario Vela, assistant vice provost and executive director of the University Career Center, highlighted the role of employer partnerships, experiential learning, and workforce engagement in helping students translate their education into career opportunities while supporting the talent needs of San Antonio and South Texas.
