The University of Connecticut's Geospatial Training Program is a member of the National Geospatial Technology Extension Network, a growing affiliation of university-based outreach education programs designed to expand the knowledge and use of geospatial data and technology.
Connecticut's program, housed within the Center for Land use Education And Research (CLEAR), provides technical education and training outside the traditional academic environment. The program's goal is to help municipal land use officials, staff and commission members understand and apply geospatial information technologies to help solve local land use problems and to develop environmentally sensitive land use plans. The program focuses on the use of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and global positioning system (GPS) technology and online mapping and introduces new users to these technologies through hands-on training courses.
