MVCTC Students Learn About Geospatial Career Opportunities
Dayton, Ohio -- The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Computer Technology Academy Tech Prep Senior GIS class recently spent a day at Woolpert, a Dayton based Geospatial Company. Students experienced every aspect of a geospatial project from the airplane that takes the aerial and Lidar imagery, to the GIS technicians and analysts that manipulate the image, to the final product that is ready for the project manager to present to the client. This field trip allowed the GIS students to see firsthand the many local career opportunities in this fast-growing field.
This field trip provided students with a chance to network with GIS business partners and see how the lab skills they are learning at MVCTC apply in the real world. Mrs. Amy Sugden, MVCTC Computer Technology Academy instructor said of the field trip, “This field trip allowed my students to see all the amazing opportunities in the GIS career pathway”.
MVCTC alumni from the Computer Technology Academy have received job offers right out of high school with employers such as Teradata, Premier Health Partners, Montgomery County Auditor’s Office, the U. S. Marines, and Woolpert. Jobs in Computer Information Technology continue to be some of the fastest growing areas where skilled employees are needed.
