We are pleased to announce that the County of Los Angeles is opening Geographic Information Systems (GIS) position exams for the recruitment of talented staff to fill current vacancies and future GIS positions within the County in support of our GIS recruitment and retention efforts.
All nine GIS items will be posted in the coming days. While the specific date has not been confirmed, we anticipate this will be in mid-February 2019.
Now is the time to prepare to file for these upcoming opportunities. Applicants from the qualified lists will provide the pool for open positions. These exams do not come around often – so this is your best (and perhaps only) opportunity for the next year or so.
Once posted, positions will be open for a very limited time (3-5 days for most). This will be your only opportunity to apply in the current cycle.

 The GIS Certification is once again happy to announce their annual Map Contest, and this year’s theme is creating a GISP location map.
Map submittals may qualify for 1 point under the Contributions to the Profession category towards your GISP certification or recertification, and this contest is a great way to showcase your cartographic and geoanalytical skills. The use of Esri products is encouraged, as winning maps will be displayed at the Esri User Conference Map Gallery in San Diego.
For the GISP Registry data download and more information on prizes, contest rules, specifications, and judging criteria can be found at the GISCI map contest page. If you have great map ideas and you have talents that are crying to be discovered, please don’t delay. The deadline for your submittal is March 31, 2019.
GIS classes are available for the Spring semester at Santa Monica College. This year there are three levels of classes, including the Advanced GIS 27 class.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS), National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT), and the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) are collaborating to place top notch students into internships with the USGS in their GIS Summer Intern Program.
To be considered as a nominee for this program, you need to at least sign up at gisci.org and begin your portfolio. This program provides opportunities for genuinely talented students, even in their early years of education. Please consider visiting the GISCI FAQ page.
With location as a service, cloud computing, 3D modeling and other trends, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies are becoming more prevalent in everyday life. The GIS industry is growing and becoming more important than ever before.
Our GIS and Geospatial Technology Programs are created in partnership with the UCLA Department of Geography, recognized internationally as a leader in research and education.
Our programs are fully online, designed for entry-level to experienced professionals as well as students. They provide hands-on practical training involving real-world geospatial data and the most relevant, state-of-the-art tools and techniques in GIS. Our programs provide applicable experience in GIS, spatial analysis, GIS programming and more. Train on the latest versions of Esri’s ArcGIS, QGIS and others. Courses offered every quarter.
We offer the following programs –
- GIS Certificate: A 5 course certificate which can be completed in around a year
- Various other Courses
On behalf of the GIS Certification Institute (and our friends from SoCal URISA next door), we would especially like to thank everyone who stopped by our booths. We highly encourage everyone to visit our sites.
We did pass out some copies of a new GIS crossword puzzle, and, as promised, here’s the key. The puzzles are not anyone’s official publication. It’s just an amusing way of expanding our collective knowledge of GIS.
