Macquarie’s PACE Program – Winner of the 2017 AFR Higher Education Employability Award

Macquarie’s Professional and Community Engagement Program (PACE) has won the prestigious 2017 Australian Financial Review Higher Education Awards. It was announced on 29 August 2017 at the AFR Higher Education Awards night. This is a huge recognition and because it is a collective effort by many, the Awards Event was attended by representatives of the whole PACE community including PACE unit convenors, staff members, students, graduates, industry and community partners.

We are particularly proud of the contribution that Law PACE has made to the success of the university-wide program. Debra Ronan who is the Director of PACE at Macquarie Law School, has been instrumental in developing and leading the Law PACE Programs.

Congratulations to all the staff and students in the Macquarie Law School on the significant role they have played in the success of Macquarie PACE.

PACE is a whole-of-university work integrated learning program unmatched in the Australian higher education sector in its scope, scale, diversity and curriculum integration. Due to this, PACE enhances employability and citizenship capability by enabling all undergraduates to engage in practical learning experiences with industry and community. Graduate employment outcomes confirm the transformational impact of PACE.

The program is at the core of Macquarie’s transformative approach to education and graduate employability, where students apply classroom learning in practice and develop valuable career and life skills. Working with one of our 2,500 partner organisations enables students to accumulate a portfolio of transferable skills, knowledge, aptitudes and experiences to equip themselves for the changing world of work and a life of ethical and engaged citizenship.
