Here is what Cloudpoint Geospatial Employees had to say about the GISCI Endorsing Employer Designation:
“From its beginning, Cloudpoint has emphasized the importance of having GISPs on staff and has encouraged all eligible staff to obtain the certification. Having multiple GISPs on staff gives potential clients the confidence that Cloudpoint is capable of solving their problems with GIS. It is a natural extension of that to become a GISCI Endorsed Employer. We are grateful to all that GISCI has done and continues to do for our industry and are thankful to be endorsed by them.”
– Jon Hodel, President
“As jobseekers look to join organizations, I hope they will ask about the GISCI Endorsement. GISCI plays an important role in our industry and shows that a potential employer is serious about their employees’ professional growth and development. We are proud to be among this group.”
– Erin Strickler, Director of Services
The GIS Certification Institute (GISCI) has created the GISCI Endorsing Employer Designation Program to help increase the value of GISP Certification for our primary stakeholders, and to help facilitate the growth of the GISP Program within the geospatial community. The GISCI will grant the GISCI Endorsing Employer Designation to organizations that meet the criteria established by the GISCI as supportive of GIS Professionals and the GISP Certification process by way of internal activities, programs, and policies. The designation is not only a commitment to GISP Certification for staff, but also to upholding the ideals of the GIS Certification Institute.
The GISCI Endorsing Employer Designation is available to all organizations (public, private/commercial) with exception of GISCI member organizations. Organizations seeking the designation must submit a formal application listing the criteria met as verified by the organization’s HR representative. A review committee will evaluate each application and if the organization meets the criteria, the committee will forward the application to the GISCI Board of Directors for approval. Each approved GISCI Endorsing Employer will last for three (3) years, provide the organization with permission to display their organization logo on our website and provide permission to display the GISCI Endorsing Employer designation on their website. There is no cost to obtain this designation.
