GIS Career Investigation

Create a GIS careers presentation. Suggests below:​
  •  Investigate GIS careers by researching the: Bureau of Labor Statistics' Job Outlook
    • What do they do?
    • How much can they make?
    • Are you surprised at the job outlook? Why/why not? 
  •     Discuss specific examples of GIS Projects at Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration 
    • What Department GIS services?
    • What does the availability of GIS programs and projects across the state of Tennessee indicate about the importance of Geographic Data?
    • What does it indicate about the need for qualified GIS professionals?
  • Investigate Esri Industries and Geoinspirations (found on this tab)
Afterwards, in middle school, we recommend that STEM teachers engage students with a one-to-three-week unit using a Geographic Information System (GIS); such as, Google Maps and ArcGIS Online.
