Mountain Empire Community College (MECC) and its partners are establishing the "Today's Education and Careers in Geographic Information Systems" (TEC GIS) Partnership to integrate GIS technology into public school and community college classrooms and encourage students to pursue careers in the fields of environmental science, forestry and computer aided drafting and design. The curricula for these programs are being updated to include revised courses integrating GIS concepts. Students in these majors are being encouraged to complete the GIS Certificate and an internship to enhance knowledge and skills, as well as opportunities for future employment.Public school students participate in Governor's School sessions on GIS. Local public school teachers participate in workshops on how to use GIS to meet the Virginia Standards of Learning. The workshops are being conducted by OVERspace, a program jointly funded by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium and the Virginia Department of Education. Community college and four year college faculty members are participating in GIS Institutes to prepare them for curriculum development and articulation. The MECC Certificate in GIS is being articulated with a proposed minor in GIS at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, with the B. S. in Geography program at Radford University, and with the B. S. degree program in Surveying and Mapping at East Tennessee State University.The project meets local, state and national needs of business and industry to increase the number of GIS technicians. Faculty professional development sponsored by the project increases the utilization of GIS tools for discipline-based instruction.

山地帝国社区学院（MECC）及其合作伙伴正在建立“当今地理信息系统教育和职业”（TEC GIS）合作伙伴关系，将GIS技术融入公立学校和社区学院的课堂，并鼓励学生从事环境科学，林业和计算机辅助绘图和设计领域的职业。正在更新这些方案的课程，以纳入纳入地理信息系统概念的订正课程。这些专业的学生被鼓励完成地理信息系统证书和实习，以提高知识和技能，以及未来的就业机会。公立学校的学生参加州长的地理信息系统学校会议。当地公立学校的教师参加了关于如何使用GIS来满足弗吉尼亚学习标准的研讨会。这些讲习班由OVERspace举办，这是一个由弗吉尼亚空间赠款联盟和弗吉尼亚教育部联合资助的项目。社区学院和四年制学院的教职员工正在参加GIS研究所，为课程开发和衔接做准备。MECC地理信息系统证书正在与弗吉尼亚大学怀斯学院的地理信息系统辅修课程（B）进行衔接。S.在拉德福大学的地理课程，并与B。S.东田纳西州立大学的测绘学位课程。该项目满足了地方、州和国家的商业和工业需求，以增加GIS技术人员的数量。由该项目赞助的教师专业发展增加了GIS工具在基于学科的教学中的利用。
