Description:
view screenshot This collaborative project, led by the University of Maine at Machias (UMM) with partners in five other colleges and universities and an extended community of GST educators, is designed to meet the growing demand for workers skilled in geospatial technologies (GST) in Maine. The approach includes developing educational programs that are more accessible and applicable to the needs of a rural workforce and increasing the number of students enrolling in courses, receiving two-year degrees and certificates, and pursuing further higher education. The model for GST education takes into account the lack of access to high-speed Internet and computing capacity in rural areas and the limited enrollment in rural community colleges across the state. This project is filling important gaps in understanding the educational needs of the rural geospatial workforce, particularly the skills needed by ancillary users of GST in government, natural resource conservation, and economic development. Information obtained from the workforce study is being used to inform the development and testing of curriculum, program structure and instructional methods for technical education that blend the best of distance education and on-site, inquiry-based, service learning. This project is demonstrating new modes of cooperation among institutions of higher education to meet the needs of the rural geospatial workforce nationally. Through outreach via the National Consortium for Rural Geospatial Innovations in America, this project serves as a model for GIS education in rural regions.

Description: Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC) in partnership with industry and a high school district is creating and implementing a tiered internship program in geospatial technology (TIMSGeoTech). The project is aligning the educational practices with industry expectations in an effort to increase the enrollment of students and better define career pathways. The project is being informed by the SC ATE Center of Excellence and the National Geospatial Technology Center. SC ATE Center's successful internship, student recruitment, and industry consortium models are being adapted and implemented for this project. The TIMSGeoTech is advancing knowledge and understanding in many fields involving geospatial technology, geographic information systems and science aligning graduates and their skills with industry needs through tiered internship experiences. It is also facilitating communication among sectors (academic, industry, and government) to improve the relevance of coursework to today's geospatial applications. This is allowing resources of various organizations to be combined to provide valuable experiences for participants. Establishing paid internships and scholarships should develop this project into a self-sustaining program. The Tiered Internship Model can be adapted by two- and four-year colleges preparing geospatial technicians as it creates a system for partnering with industry so that they can 'grow their own' future workforce by tapping students early in the educational process and grooming them for possible future employment with the company after graduation. TIMSGeoTech is bringing together a diverse group of industry stakeholders to create opportunities for partnerships and networking for students, educators, and professionals. TIMSGeoTech is enhancing the involvement of under-represented groups through outreach to workforce development offices by providing links to unemployed and underemployed individuals.
