GIS in Action 2025

Do you remember when you were a student or just getting started in your GIS career? Did you have an internship that helped launch you in a direction that led you to where you are today? Internships improve workforce preparedness and at the same time expand the ability of an organization or agency to work on projects that may not otherwise have the capacity to support. This panel will explore the mutual benefits of internships from both organizational and student perspectives, and offer practical guidance on successfully establishing and managing internship programs.
