Earning While Learning in the Geospatial Industry | Geosaurus Unleashed

Geosaurus Unleashed is T-REX's monthly happy hour & discussion series revolving around the geospatial and location intelligence community.

This month's conversation is with Zekita Armstrong Asuquo, the President & Chair of Gateway Global. Gateway Global American Youth and Business Alliance (AYBA) was established as a STEM based workforce and development organization to recruit, develop curriculum, and facilitate US DOL Registered GeoINT Specialist Apprenticeships in both urban and rural areas. In 2019, she launched Gateway Global Data Logistics, a geodata analysis and mapping talent firm to place newly skilled (and some experienced) workers into roles requiring exposure and experience with GeoINT and Geographic Information Systems.

They are the only organization is the region operating a workforce-based training that awards GeoINT tradecraft workforce training and credentials to youth who have a need to earn while they learn. Their current partners include SLU, T-REX, USGIF, DHEWD, and school districts in the St. Louis region and Southeast Missouri.
