Paper
How to Recruit, Select, and Manage Geospatial Technology Professionals
Track: Business, Banking, and Insurance
Author(s): Cyndi Gaudet, Heather Annulis, Jon Carr

This paper presents human resource managers with a tool to use in their organizations to help select and recruit geospatial technology professionals and determine professional development plans for cross training between 12 identified geospatial technology work roles. The Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM) was developed at the NASA-sponsored Geospatial Workforce Development Center (GeoWDC) at the University of Southern Mississippi. The GeoWDC is designed to be a first source of information for geospatial workforce training and development. Organizations can use the GTCM to describe the kinds of workers needed in the industry, improve employee recruitment; manage employee performance; and design training programs.
