ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BEING MORE TECHNICAL, MARKETABLE AND APPLIED?
One way to do this is to add Geographic Information Systems (GIS) skills to your portfolio. The GIS industry is projected to grow to $220B by 2033 according to Allied Market Research. This growth in GIS careers is because everyone has data and needs to figure out what is happening where. The majority of this growth will come from people like you who want to combine your domain knowledge with your ability to analyze and display your data geographically.
Who is this bootcamp for? Any current student, alumni or professional who wants to help make geographic decisions. This bootcamp complements the GIS certificate programs offered at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU). These courses can be technical upskilling for students and alumni who have enrolled in other NEIU GIS programs of study, but they also may be for the novice who wants to start with new courses to quickly add to their portfolio. When you take these courses, you can learn how to create a data workflow, analyze geographic data, create a map dashboard, or set up a GIS data repository in the cloud. Our GIS Bootcamp students have degrees in everything, such as business, geography, environmental studies, and biology.
LABOR ANALYSIS
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics recognizes that job seekers with experience working with geographic technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), have the best job prospects and those who have used geographic technologies to complete projects and solve problems within their specialized subfields should have better job opportunities.
