With the explosion in digital geospatial information technologies and data, and the convergence of those technologies and data with mainstream IT, the possibilities are endless for what the future could bring in the area of spatially enabling the homeland security enterprise. Ensuring a trained workforce for an emerging growth industry is an important policy initiative for the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration. The public workforce system is becoming demand driven, focusing on high-growth and emerging industries, including the geospatial technologies industry.
