Geo what?

Colorado, a hub for the growing geospatial industry, is struggling to find trained workers. Officials hope a new website will help.
The geospatial industry might be one of the fastest-growing industries you've never heard of. Most people don't even know what "geospatial" means, let alone what it takes to land a job in the industry.
"People don't really know what it is," said Bob Samborski, president of the Aurora-based Geospatial Information & Technology Association. "Part of the problem is the industry hasn't been defined yet."
That group and the Association of American Geographers are using a $700,000 federal grant to develop projects that define the industry, educate others about it and connect them with one another. The grant is part of a high-growth job-training initiative outlined by President Bush.
