Geomatics Operator – Basic Training for Field Operators
We hear comments frequently, if not constantly on the lack of qualified people. Having trained a wide variety of individuals and personalities for fieldwork I can relate to the challenges of training. Let’s discuss safe, positive, encouraging, and efficient ways to train for the trenches. We will discuss what has worked for us and thoughts on how to put some fire in the belly of others when it comes to learning our profession. Participation is encouraged so please spread the message to your compatriots to join us. A rising tide lifts all boats and each of us, no matter our role, can be a rising tide for those around us.

February 22nd - Shane S. Turay, CET, CST, GISP
Geomatics Operator – Field Codes, Linework and Stepped Offsets
Let’s dig into implementing the technical details of these useful skills. We will cover the basic concepts, practical application, share our process, get technical, and talk about the lessons learned. I believe there is great potential for evolution for those not fully using the modern systems of coding and stepped offsets. Increases in efficiency and quality could be realized by mastering these skills. Participation is encouraged so please spread the message to your compatriots to join us. A rising tide lifts all boats and each of us, no matter our role, can be a rising tide for those around us.
