How can MapTEACH help me find a job or internship?
MapTEACH helps you develop relationships with people who can guide you to interesting work in two ways: 1. Through MapTEACH you learn some real-world skills and knowledge in GPS, GIS and the geosciences, and then put these to work in documenting the local landscape, community planning and whatever you and your teacher choose. You learn to use the some of the same data and tools that experts use. 2. At the end of MapTEACH lessons, we strongly encourage the teacher(s) to invite in members of the community who work in related positions so you can present your maps and reports to them. In Alaska, these community members may include traditional elders, family, local government employees, native corporation employees, natural resource managers, community planners, and business people.
