About Us
The Geospatial Technology Consortium of Community Colleges (GTC3) is an NSF-funded national initiative advancing geospatial education and workforce development. GTC3 connects educators, industry, and NSF ATE Projects and Centers to develop and share workforce-aligned resources in GIS, remote sensing, GeoAI, drone technology, and other emerging technologies. Through collaboration and professional development, GTC3 helps educators keep pace with the evolving needs of the geospatial workforce.
