About this itemBack in 2017, I made a Cascade story map to compile GIS career resources for my current and future interns. Fast forward seven years, and I finally rebuilt it as an ArcGIS StoryMap. From job title descriptions to certifications and to salaries, it covers the main areas I find emerging professionals asking about when they're looking at a career in GIS. There are multiple shout outs to the Consortium in it too, of course.😎Author/ContributorJohn NergeOrganizationPersonal workOrg Websitehttps://bit.ly/JohnNerge

I’d love to begin by saying that I have not “arrived” as I believe I am still on a journey of self-discovery. I have heard people say that they find my journey quite interesting and I hope my story inspires someone out there.I had my first encounter with Geographic Information System (GIS) in the third year of my undergraduate study in Geography at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria. I was opportune to be introduced to the essentials of GIS by one of the prominent Environmental and Urban Geographers in person of Dr O.J Taiwo. Even though the whole syllabus and teaching sounded abstract to me due to the little exposure to a practical hands-on approach to GIS software, I developed a keen interest in the theoretical learning and I ended up scoring 70% in my final course exam.

Tempe is among Arizona's most educated cities, lending to a creative, smart atmosphere. With more than a dozen colleges, trade schools and universities, about 40 percent of our residents over the age of 25 have Bachelor's degrees or higher. Having such an educated and accessible workforce is a driving factor in attracting and growing jobs for residents in the region.The City of Tempe is a member of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) and with the membership staff tracks collaborative efforts to recruit business prospects and locates. The Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) is a performance-driven, public-private partnership. GPEC partners with the City of Tempe, Maricopa County, 22 other communities and more than 170 private-sector investors to promote the region’s competitive position and attract quality jobs that enable strategic economic growth and provide increased tax revenue for Tempe.This dataset provides the target and actual job creation numbers for the City of Tempe and Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC). The job creation target for Tempe is calculated by multiplying GPEC's target by twice Tempe's proportion of the population.This page provides data for the New Jobs Created performance measure.The performance measure dashboard is available at 5.02 New Jobs Created.Additional InformationSource:Contact: Madalaine McConvilleContact Phone: 480-350-2927Data Source Type: Excel filesPreparation Method: Extracted from GPEC monthly and annual reports and proprietary excel filesPublish Frequency: AnnuallyPublish Method: ManualData Dictionary

This Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project has developed, implemented, and evaluated a series of innovative Socio-Environmental Science Investigations (SESI) using a geospatial curriculum approach. It is targeted for economically disadvantaged 9th grade high school students in Allentown, PA, and involves hands-on geospatial technology to help develop STEM-related skills. SESI focuses on societal issues related to environmental science. These issues are multi-disciplinary, involve decision-making that is based on the analysis of merged scientific and sociological data, and have direct implications for the social agency and equity milieu faced by these and other school students. This project employed a design partnership between Lehigh University natural science, social science, and education professors, high school science and social studies teachers, and STEM professionals in the local community to develop geospatial investigations with Web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS). These were designed to provide students with geospatial skills, career awareness, and motivation to pursue appropriate education pathways for STEM-related occupations, in addition to building a more geographically and scientifically literate citizenry. The learning activities provide opportunities for students to collaborate, seek evidence, problem-solve, master technology, develop geospatial thinking and reasoning skills, and practice communication skills that are essential for the STEM workplace and beyond. Despite the accelerating growth in geospatial industries and congruence across STEM, few school-based programs integrate geospatial technology within their curricula, and even fewer are designed to promote interest and aspiration in the STEM-related occupations that will maintain American prominence in science and technology. The SESI project is based on a transformative curriculum approach for geospatial learning using Web GIS to develop STEM-related skills and promote STEM-related career interest in students who are traditionally underrepresented in STEM-related fields. This project attends to a significant challenge in STEM education: the recognized deficiency in quality locally-based and relevant high school curriculum for under-represented students that focuses on local social issues related to the environment. Environmental issues have great societal relevance, and because many environmental problems have a disproportionate impact on underrepresented and disadvantaged groups, they provide a compelling subject of study for students from these groups in developing STEM-related skills. Once piloted in the relatively challenging environment of an urban school with many unengaged learners, the results will be readily transferable to any school district to enhance geospatial reasoning skills nationally.

Covered employment for the growth areas, urban centers and villages, for the City of Seattle Comprehensive Plan. This is a stand alone table that includes non-spatial records.Covered employment is reported annually from the State of Washington QCEW data.The Washington State Employment Security Department, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) is a federal/state cooperative program that measures employment and wages in industries covered by unemployment insurance. Data are available by industry and county and used to evaluate labor trends, monitor major industry developments and develop training programs.

This layer considers jobs and destinations to be accessible by bus if the destinations are reachable within 30 minutes. Access to jobs and destinations within a fixed time is measured using the actual networks and not a straight line distance. Destinations include grocery stores, hospitals, community services, education centers, and other significant community areas. Jobs across the region (not just within the District) were used to provide a full picture of employment access.

The dataset includes polygons representing the location and attributes of Central Employment Area (CEA). The CEA is the core area of the District of Columbia where the greatest concentration of employment in the city and region is encouraged, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. Jurisdictions were identified from public records (map and written description created by the National Capital Planning Commission) and heads-up digitized from the 1995 orthophotographs.

This dataset represents all future planned employment areas within the region.This dataset was compiled for the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan which came into effect on October 26, 2017.
