Internships and Professional Development

GISCENTRAL is where Palos Verdes on the Net (PV NET) provides Geographic Information Systems services and training.

There are several exceptional benefits from GIS Central’s GIS training program. Our customers tell us of greatly increased staff efficiency, productivity, and knowledge. Many students learn GIS training leads to new business and employment opportunities. As with other disciplines life-long learning is proven to bring lifelong rewards.

Many say that learning is the key to individual prosperity. Savvy business leaders know their investment in human capital and subsequent training is the foundation of organizational success. Virtually everything you learn today will be obsolete in a year. That’s the way of the knowledge-based global economy. GIS Central provides a portal to knowledge, new skills, and the riches to which they lead.

GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, is the hardware, software and human elements that construct digital maps where every point, line and shape is connected to an information database.
GIS Central takes hard-copy data - paper maps, slides, records and spreadsheets, and turns them into spatial data for user applications. The user chooses which database information is displayed as a layer on a digital map accessible by a PC from virtually anywhere in the world. The options are virtually limitless.

For internal data security purposes the client determines who may access the GIS system and view data.

We've learned from many years' experience that it is nearly impossible to effectively teach GIS in a structured, lecture type class or from a text book. PVNET's GIS teaching and training success is achieved by using ESRI's Virtual Campus Learning courses.

The ESRI Virtual Campus Learning program is self-paced online courses using mock data to walk you through GIS procedures in a hands-on way. PVNET staff works with you to help with any difficulties and to offer a real-world perspective to the training materials.
Our modern, fully equipped training facility is like no other, nestled on a bluff overlooking the cool blue Pacific Ocean, in a quiet area comfortably distanced from residential or commercial activity.
