Careers Advice

Task 6 in the SEAC work plan is to produce targeted communications on career paths within the Spatial Information industry . With sponsorship provided by PSMA, SEAC commisssioned Ms Georgie Cain of Performance Growth Pty Ltd to research and describe the various pathways to a career in the Spatial Information industry.

Ms Cain has also produced a communication document designed for  senior secondary or tertiary students who may be considering a career in the spatial information industry.

A second document is aimed at people already in the industry who may be unaware of the various career paths available to them or who need specific advice on how to prepare themselves for future roles in the industry.

These documents can be used and reproduced by any organisation wishing to promote careers in the spatial nformation industry

Where can I study or be trained in the Spatial Sciences

There are many pathways into the spatial information industry and many alternative career paths within the industry.  Courses in the spatial sciences are offered at VET and University level throughout Australia.  There are so many courses that SEAC has commissioned Ms Georgie Cane of Performance Growth Pty Ltd  to produce a database of available courses and some basic information about each course.

This database was last updated in March 2008 and there may already be new courses or changes to the courses listed but it provides a starting point for anyone wishing to find the best course in the most convenient location.
