- Be a Key Contributor: Your responses will directly influence the development of core competencies and the effective implementation of GIS technologies.
Survey Focus
Assess current GIS skills and knowledge within lands departments.
Identify training needs and resource gaps.
Design focused materials and support to improve GIS use and integration.
Benefits for You:
- Play a role in the development of specialized GIS focus groups.
- Enhance your GIS knowledge and the capacity of your department to use GIS technology effectively.
- Help ensure GIS solutions are aligned with community goals and cultural values.
How It Works:
- Complete Part I of the Survey – Your insights will influence our phased approach.
This survey will take place in 2 phases and will play a key role in helping us understand the varying needs, skills, and interests within each lands department and will help us identify focus areas for further development.
The Part II follow-up survey will build upon the insights gathered in Part I and will delve deeper into the specific needs and aspirations as it pertains to GIS technology and its application.
