Abstract
GIS Skills Canada Competition
Track: User Presentations - Teaching
Authors: Jean Tong, Iain Greensmith
The Education and Research group at Esri Canada has supported the secondary school Skills Canada competitions at both district and provincial levels for a number of years. In this presentation, we describe the approach and resources we use for Skills Canada, and discuss how you can support similar competitions in your local area. Company support for these competitions has resulted in strengthening GIS instruction in Canadian schools. Since GIS Skills competitions occur all over the globe, our goal is to move the work we have done with Skills Canada to the international stage.
