Geospatial Infrastructure Analyst

The Geospatial Infrastructure Analyst SkillBridge curriculum provides transitioning service members with supervised training in CISA regional operations, critical infrastructure analysis, geospatial analysis, infrastructure data analysis, and operational support. The participant will learn how CISA uses geospatial data, digital imagery, infrastructure databases, and ancillary sources to support regional situational awareness, preparedness, response, critical infrastructure resilience, and leadership decision-making.The participant will receive exposure to research, data assessment, data integration, GIS/spatial analysis, infrastructure dependency analysis, operational support products, and written, visual, and oral communication of analytic findings. Experience with ESRI databases and software, including ArcGIS or related GIS tools, is preferred.
