(Presentation Slides Zip File) Validating the Geospatial Competency Model: Pre-Workshop

The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) competency model initiative is intended to identify core competencies—academic, workplace, and technical—that every worker in a selected industry needs to know and be able to do. ETA seeks to validate a competency framework Geospatial Technology that will:

• Give education and training providers an industry driven framework for preparing workers with 21st century skills in high growth sectors of the economy;
  
• Inform federal investments in education and training activities;
  
• Promote portability of credentials; and
  
• Prevent future duplication of effort by sharing research and information through a database of existing and newly developed competency-based resources.
  Join us for this informative Webinar that will introduce the draft Geospatial Technology competency model for the review and validation process that will continue in March 2010.
