The core of our business has always been top-notch trainers
delivering outstanding seminars. The PRI team of seminar leaders is made
up of seasoned professionals with extensive experience in speaking,
training and consulting. Our trainers also have the solid business
background that is so important to our customers. (We are currently
contracting with Seminar Leaders in the United States, Canada and the
United Kingdom only.) We talk to hundreds of people every year who are
interested in becoming independent contractors with PRI and these are
the questions they most often ask us. Note: Currently our greatest need
is for individuals who are qualified to teach two-day classes on
computer-related topics. We offer seminars on a variety of software
applications, web site development and back office products such as
Networking and Troubleshooting Your PC.

consists of three speakers, on three different dates, who address mostly
non-farm audiences like service clubs and chambers of commerce.
The speaking engagements are organized as follows:
- AgAware BC's coordinator Nico Human goes first, reporting on
AgAware BC and its many initiatives
- a farmer or rancher goes in front of the same audience a month or two
later to discuss farming in BC today
- a young person, typically an agricultural student or 4-H prizewinner,
concludes the program talking about the future of BC agriculture Please

a speaker.
