The Geospatial Training Program (GTP) is part of UConn's award-winning Center for Land Use Education and Research. GTP was developed to provide innovative hands-on training in geospatial technologies to town officials, town staff, non-government officials, and governmental agency staff. Since 2007, the program has trained over 3,000 individuals in geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and new, rapidly evolving technologies designed to make maps and geospatial data available on mobile devices and over the internet. CLEAR's Geospatial Educators are also involved in K12 STEM education through UConn's Natural Resources Conservation Academy and other initiatives.
