Add a GIS planning project to your portfolio in a week

Many people get a college degree, but they have the challenge of demonstrating applied project experience on their portfolio. GIS is one of the applied technical tools that can be used to quickly demonstrate technical prowess no matter your field of study. In this class, we can show a novice GIS user how to accomplish a project consisting of data collection, analysis, cartography, and distribution through a web display. We will do this using a current case of local neighborhood zoning and planning. Growing populations have forced cities to think about increasing housing and rental density through In-Fill programs. You will learn how to create a real mapping project using ArcGIS Pro. The final outcome will be our advice on ramping up your Linkedin profile with graphics, links, and GIS branding to make you more marketable.

Cliff N   Feb 7,2023

I was new to GIS and found this to be a really good first project. Andres explanations were simple and covered lots of terms I had wondered about.

Jeff Z   Jan 8, 2023

I was suprised at the variety of functions that I would learn in an intro class. It took a lot of focus in my evenings.

Cary M   Dec 19, 2022

This was a comprehensive intro to both the software and local planning which might be useful in my neighborhood.

Paula T   Dec 10, 2022

I appreciate this intro to GIS and planning. Andres you are very easy to talk to and give me both GIS and industry advice.

Armando D   Nov 4, 2022

Mr. Abeyta’s class had a nice mix of planning needs at the local level along with the needed functions and maps to support local neighborhood causes.
