*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* Hi all, I know there's been interest in this listserv with GIS Certificates and online courses, as well as folks considering career development opportunities during this time of remote working. University of Vermont offers a full GIS Certificate<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearn.uvm.edu%2Fprogram%2Fgeographic-information-systems-data-communication-professional-certificate%2F%3Futm_source%3DListserv%26utm_medium%3Dpost%26utm_campaign%3Dmessage%26utm_term%3Dpros&data=04%7C01%7CNEARC-L%40LISTSERV.UCONN.EDU%7Cc7fdfff49e6843fbfc5a08d89e2f2c8b%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637433272731119326%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=NIoAdYmUbTaaq3787dBr1Dk0ZK7PFbmTp9hWCxdsRq8%3D&reserved=0> as well as the option to take online courses a la carte. We've got some really exciting courses coming up, including Data Visualization & Communication (learn the science of communication) and Geospatial Computation (applied geostatistics with R and Python in ArcGIS Pro). These courses are non-credit (for professional audience at a competitive price point) and we have a credit option (if you are working towards a degree or your employer prefers this option; please contact me directly for credit enrollment). Cheers, Gillian UVM's GIS and Data Communication Professional Certificate is now accepting registrations for its upcoming courses starting in January. This Certificate program covers Geographical Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, geospatial computation and data communication, and is focused on developing critical thinking and applied problem-solving skills including conceptual knowledge, technical skills, and applied uses of geospatial analysis.
