As a student or emerging GIS professional, you have so much on your plate. Creating your personal brand, networking, organizations, meetings, projects, classes—it doesn’t seem like there is enough time in the day. On top of that, as an up-and-coming GIS professional, it is important to maintain your skills and acumen to stay on top of and ahead of the latest trends and technologies and stand out from your peers. 

  • With so many training options, and so many trending topics, how do you know where to start?  
  • Do you even have enough time in the day to find the training you need?  
  • After you finish a training, how do you know what to cover next?  

 

Learning plans are a great tool to help you on your learning journey. These plans provide a roadmap to help you isolate Esri’s most important content within these topics and provide suggested order of completion. While you do have the ability to create your own plan, Esri experts have created plans to help you get started on focused topics and tools. These plans include web courses, MOOCs, training seminars, ArcGIS labs, videos, and instructor-led courses—there should be something for you regardless of your learning style.
