Subject: [gislist] GIS training
Date:  02/07/2007 02:45:00 PM
From:  Trish Long



Hello GISers,



I'm looking for feedback on how government agencies, especially small
cities, deal with GIS training.

If you work for a government agency or similar organization, and you have a
few spare moments, please tell me the following:



1) Where does GIS "live" in your organizational structure? (e.g. Is GIS is a
division of your IT Dept? Do you have a separate GIS Department? Or do you
have GIS users distributed or concentrated in various departments of your
organization?)

2) Is GIS training done in-house using existing GIS and IT staff? Or, are
GIS consultants used for training staff?

3) If your organization does in-house training, how have the results turned
out? Do you find the newly trained staff are producing their own maps and
doing their own GIS analyses?

4) Any other thoughts you want to share. Thanks!



I am the primary GIS user for a Planning Division. Just trying to figure out
how other agencies get their GIS work done.

Please send your responses to me at tlong@trentonnj.org



Trish Maggio-Long
