Our Principals Jim Tallman, President
Jim started developing competency-based programs in 1979. In the early years he worked primarily in the telecommunications industry, developing technical courses for companies that included B.C. Telephone, Alberta Government Telephones, AT&T, AT&T Canada, Pacific Bell and Pacific Northwest Bell, among others. In 1988 he had the opportunity to branch out into the pulp and paper industry and developed equipment operator training for companies including Boise-Cascade, Weyerhaeuser, Irving and Weldwood. He soon developed a training design for operator training, both plant and heavy equipment operators, that made training more competency-based, measurable and consistent. Although the process North Pacific uses today is more rigorous than it was then, it is still based on the integrity of those early designs. Since then, Jim has applied his operating training system to other industries in the resource sector, including gas and oil, mining, power utilities and marine waterfront. Dan McFaull, Managing Director
