A St. Louis organization is expanding its geospatial education program.
Gateway Global American Youth and Business Alliance Academies is partnering with engineering company Leidos to add more than 100 students to Gateway Global’s “Entry to Executive” program, which helps prepare students for entry-level geographic information system and geospatial jobs.
“It will open up opportunities for internships for mentorships and other entry level job opportunities,” Gateway Global President Zekita Armstrong Asuquo, said. “It will help to put them on a pathway where they can see how geospatial science and technology converges with other sectors that they might be interested in.”
The organization offers classes in the University City and Ferguson-Florissant school districts and KIPP charter schools. Leidos will sponsor groups of students joining the program. It also works with school districts across the state.
