IAGI 6 th Annual Meeting 1 March 2013

What are we preparing our students for Workforce – Key Elements and Types Transfer to 4YC Beyond – M.S. – Ph.D. – Career

Workforce Key Elements Focus on local natural resource, environmental, and geospatial needs Degree programs have both college- transfer and technical courses Faculty have practical experience and at least AAS or BS degrees Mandatory internships A.A.S. degrees and Certificates

Workforce Students Urgent need for experience or income Strong mechanical, electronic, computer, or lab skills Limited advanced math education or aptitude Strongly place-bound outlook

Employment Opportunities Hydrologic or hydrographic technician Water or soil sampling technician Well logging specialist Well drilling/sampling technician Mapping/site assessment assistant Erosion and sediment control technician Land/Water management & conservation Environmental science / technology Coal Mining Technology Oil and gas Green collar worker

Employment Opportunities Regulatory compliance specialist Geophysical equipment operator Oceanographic/limnologic technician GIS or remote sensing technician Weather observer
