Workshop Title

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Introductory Training ⁠— Using Applications for Natural Resource Management

Description

Florida Sea Grant, the University of Florida IFAS Extension, and Golder Associates invite you to register for the “Introductory training in GIS.” In this training, you will be introduced to ArcGIS Pro, the primary product used by professionals to compile, analyze, and manage geographic information.

The training consists of a series of short lectures, which will introduce geospatial concepts. Lectures will be followed by exercises that attendees will complete using ArcGIS Pro 2.9, applying the concepts learned.

During the training, each participant will have access to a computer workstation with all the needed materials and software, printed workbook documenting the steps required to complete the exercises and the information presented during lectures. Several trainers will be on hand to provide assistance.

Why should I attend? What will I learn?

You will learn the most commonly used GIS skills in the industry today by completing “real-world” exercises that will build your confidence using GIS, increase your awareness about GIS data sources and help you explore GIS tools to enhance your work.
