Our Mission

PACT’s mission is to provide opportunities for learning, networking, and the exchange of ideas among technical training professionals.

Our Vision

PACT inspires technical training professionals to lead, develop, explore, network, and grow themselves and their organization in a fun and motivating environment.

The Details

PACT (Professional Association for Computer Training), located in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area of Minnesota, is one of the oldest professional computer training associations in the United States. We meet the second Friday of every month to share information, discuss options, and discover answers on the issues and technologies facing today’s ever-changing organizations.

PACT is your opportunity to take three hours a month to focus on your professional growth and development. At monthly meetings, you will hear your peers and nationally renowned training and support experts speak about issues we all face as trainers, designers, developers, and support personnel.

Join us as a guest or consider investing in your personal and professional development by becoming a PACT member. If you are working on your first undergraduate degree or certificate, you are eligible for our student rates.
