GIS 101 is a webinar series presenting a non-technical overview of topics within GIS. This series was created as a tool for NSGIC members and others to use with the many people we deal with who could benefit from learning more about key GIS topics.
On August 7 from 11 – 11:30 am ET, there will be a GIS 101 live webinar on GISP certification. GIS Professional certification has been around since 2003. While close to 11,000 people have earned the GISP® credential, there are still many folks working in GIS who are uncertain about why certification matters. If you’re one of them, then this webinar is for you. In this webinar, we’ll discuss both the value of being a certified GISP® and the value that GISP® certified staff can bring to your organization as well as the relevance to the profession. So, whether you’re an individual looking to get certified, a hiring manager seeking qualified candidates, or a GIS manager wondering how GISPs will increase the success of your team, this webinar can help answer your questions about why GISP® certification matters.
In February, the South Carolina Broadband Office (SCBBO) gave a fantastic webinar on their integration of GIS into the administration and management of over $1 billion in grant funds. A link to a summary of the presentation as well as link to the video and presentation materials can be found below:
