The Department of Labor considers the geospatial industry to be high growth (U.S. DOL, 2012). The GeoTech Consortium of Western New York (GTCWNY) is developing a geospatial certificate program to help support growing geospatial industry needs. The consortium focus is on program development and improvement by increasing the importance of geospatial technician education and the number of students with relevant geospatial and STEM competencies. It also focuses on professional development for educators, which has resulted in awareness of the geospatial industry at the high school level, and dual-credit opportunities for high school students. Led by Monroe Community College (MCC) of the State University of New York, GTCWNY is bridging the gaps among high schools, our two-year college, and the local and regional geospatial industry. The consortium is composed of Monroe Community College, three school districts, Monroe County, New York Geographic Alliance, Geographic Information Sharing-Special Interest Group, Northeast Area Development GIS Scholars, and a major geospatial corporation. With over 40 regional geospatial companies/agencies, GTCWNY serves industry demand and has an impact on STEM education. GTCWNY is combining leveraged courses from the GeoTech Center with current MCC courses to create a geospatial certificate program. The new courses are being aligned with the new Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM) 2014 and the GeoTech Center Course Content Tool. The GTCWNY Geospatial Information Science Technology (GIST) Advisory Board is identifying local and regional employment skills, allowing GTCWNY to modify the geospatial courses to regional industry needs.

劳工部认为地理空间行业是高增长（美国DOL，2012年）。 纽约西部的岩土技术联盟（GTCWNY）正在制定一项地理空间证书计划，以帮助满足不断增长的地理空间行业需求。 联盟的重点是通过提高地理空间技术员教育的重要性以及具有相关地理空间和STEM能力的学生人数，而不是计划开发和改进。 它还专注于教育工作者的专业发展，这使高中一级对地理空间行业的认识以及高中生的双学分机会。 在纽约州立大学的门罗社区学院（MCC）的带领下，GTCWNY弥合了高中，我们的两年学院以及地方和地区地理空间行业之间的差距。 该财团由梦露社区学院，三个学区，门罗县，纽约地理联盟，地理信息共享特殊利益集团，东北地区发展GIS学者和一家主要地理空间公司组成。 GTCWNY拥有40多个区域地理空间公司/机构，可满足行业需求，并对STEM教育产生影响。 GTCWNY将岩土技术中心的杠杆课程与当前的MCC课程相结合，以创建地理空间证书计划。 新课程与2014年新的地理空间技术能力模型（GTCM）和Geotech Center课程内容工具保持一致。 GTCWNY地理空间信息科学技术（GIST）咨询委员会正在确定本地和区域就业技能，使GTCWNY可以将地理空间课程修改为区域行业需求。
