The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) competency model initiative
is intended to identify core competencies - academic, workplace, and
technical - that every worker in a selected industry needs to know and be
able to do. Through this initiative, ETA is supporting the development of a
model in geospatial technology and has put the following steps in place to
validate this model:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
