This session is designed to cover the various facets of a professional career, especially from a geospatial perspective. Included will be a discussion of certification and professional credentials in general, and the GISP and GISP-E certifications specifically, and how this area can help an individual succeed early and throughout one’s career. GISPs who may have questions about renewing their certification are also encouraged to attend.
