Paul Bunyan Communications Launches PBC Academy: Free Technology Training for Members; Starts Sept. 30

Paul Bunyan Communications is excited to announce the launch of the PBC Academy, a new outreach program offering FREE training sessions designed to help cooperative members gain confidence and skills with today’s technology. These hands-on sessions, taught by local cooperative staff, make learning simple, approachable, and fun.

PBC Academy classes will be offered free of charge at Paul Bunyan Communications offices in Bemidji and Grand Rapids. The first topic will be on streaming technology helping members understand the basics and will feature streaming DIRECTV.  Future topics will be added based on member interest and feedback.
