Permaculture Exchange (PEx) Launches Stage 2: Vision - Design - Work Partner for the Transition! By Willi Paul, Founder

Permaculture Exchange (PEx) seeks projects and long term employment partnerships via 12 business & NPO sectors (see below). Please watch the stage 2 video for details. PEx is now 70 members strong, bolstered by a permaculture ethics and principles lens. PEx can provide customized job, training, internships and technical support / consulting in support of your employment & program goals.

Partner with Permaculture Exchange!

Your members can join a leading-edge multi-regional transition network. We have experts, contract workers and interns ready to bid on your projects in a user-friendly “Plug and Play” RFP system. True, PEx is competing with private Eco / Perm design firms but we have lower overhead, a competitive bid & selection process and more consultants to choose from. Values? PEx is to challenging the permaculture status quo of no pay for interns and volunteers & limited job prospects for PDC graduates!
