GALoP-X 2020 Winter Open for Students

The next Geospatial Accelerated Learning Programme (GALoP) programme express starts on 13 July 2020. GALoP-X is a 6 week programme designed to condense the key leanings and skills needed to either kick start or re-invigorate a GIS career. Alongside the hands-on technical skills, the course provides overviews of key areas such as solution architecture, project management, business cases as well as a greater understanding of the various ways in which geospatial can be applied to problems in the real world.

GALoP-X is taking applications from both organisations and individuals:

• employers looking to fast-track their staff into highly productive roles,
• individuals making the transition from education to a GIS career; or,
• experienced individuals making a change from another area to a GIS-focused career.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Gaining hands-on technical skills to increase productivity and innovation 
• Building experience with the latest Esri and Esri-related technology
• Fast-tracking geospatial capability
• Developing skill sets to undertake a greater variety of work
• Gaining insights into best practice and how to successfully deliver geospatial projects in-house
• Equipping attendees with skills to help manage work more effectively and efficiently
• Gaining a competitive edge with training on the latest technology
• Investing in either your own or your team's career development
• Assisting in the promotion of either your organisation or yourself as an employer / employee to be sought out
