Six years ago Manny started working with First Nations groups to help them with computer training and building internal capacity within their Nations by going to Fort St. John to teach web development. Fast forward to today, and he is up in Klemtu, BC working with the Kitasoo Xai'xais Stewardship to help them leverage today's technology to help them improve their wildlife conservation efforts.

Working with the folks at the Capital Regional District (CRD) this week with some customized Microsoft Excel professional development training to help build internal capacity. Everyone always benefits from Excel refresher training. Why? It is simple. We all use Excel, but we all tend to only use the features of the program that we need to accomplish our daily tasks. We forget about just how powerful Microsoft Excel actually is. Our customized Excel training makes the perfect vehicle for getting refamiliarized with some of the Excel features and functions that we have forgotten about.

This Thursday it's all about SharePoint at the Project! We are so happy to be able to have 15 people join us today for a morning of Custom SharePoint Training. We are not a "one size fits all" training company, and we really enjoy being able to customize lessons to give our attendees more value for their training dollar. Today's session is led by Wolf, and is already tackling some fantastic ways to improve workflows and save everyone time! That is the one thing that none of us have enough of, and if we can help show you how to get more done in your day, that is a great thing.
