The Spatial Industry report 

This is a substantial resource to argue for spatial technology in schools. The Spatial Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) of the Spatial Science Institute has recently (May 2007) released a report on the Spatial Information Industry in Australia. The report is a comprehensive study of the careers associated with the spatial industry (read geography!) and the shortages in supply for spatial technologists.  The report is a great resource to use with students, teachers, school administrators and parents about the vocational links of geography and the need for the introduction of spatial technology in schools. The report can be downloaded below in two forms: as the full report and as a snapshot of the findings.

• The full 'Spatial industry in Australia' report (38 pages)
• The report snapshot (6 pages)
