Denver Takes Lead in Accelerating Geospatial Industry Growth with the launch of GIWIS  E-mail
Written by GIS in the Rockies   
05 September 2006
Launch of GIWIS (gee-whiz)--or the Geospatial Industry Workforce Information System


WHEN: Wednesday, September 13, 2006

11:45 a.m. -12 p.m.

WHAT:
Launch of GIWIS (gee-whiz)--or the Geospatial Industry Workforce Information System--the nation's first and only online geospatial workforce information network and the selection of Denver as a U.S. Dept. of Labor supported model site for geospatial industry growth.

WHO:
Geospatial industry leaders, executives of the Geospatial Information & Technology Association, Mayor John Hickenlooper, representatives from Senator Wayne Allard's office, and members of state and local workforce investment boards.

WHERE:
GIS in the Rockies conference
Invesco Field
1701 Bryant St.
Denver, CO 80204

WHY:
The event is the culmination of a major U.S. Department of Labor grant received by the Geospatial Information & Technology Association (GITA) and the Association of American Geographers (AAG). The grant supports President Bush's High Growth Job Training Initiative by forming high-level partnerships among industry, education, government and the public workforce investment system to collaboratively develop solutions to the workforce challenges and labor shortages facing the geospatial industry.

Denver will play a lead role in preparing workers to take advantage of new and increasing job opportunities in a field that the U.S. Department of Labor considers one of the three most important emerging and evolving fields-the geospatial industry. Geospatial skills will be an increasingly vital part of jobs in the region's fastest growing industries, including aerospace, energy, information technology and homeland security.
