Project GTCM is a national effort, led by the GeoTech Center ([|http://geotechcenter.org]) to develop leading-edge curriculum based upon the Department of Labor's new Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM). Our aim is to develop a set of course pack outlines and assessment tools that allow community college educators to assess their own curriculum while developing new material, based upon industry standards. The Center has committed to complete a "Model Geospatial Certificate" outline of courses and their required and recommended Student Learning Outcomes content by August 31, 2012.

GTCM
