BAE Systems has been named an American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) Partner in Education for their financial support of the ASPRS Career Brochure. The Career Brochure was developed by ASPRS as a tool for recruiting high school and undergraduate students into geospatial technology field careers. Each year, thousands of brochures are distributed to schools across the country free of charge upon request. This coming year, with the support from BAE Systems, ASPRS will be able to produce another 40,000 brochures for distribution. “We thank BAE Systems for their support on behalf of the membership of ASPRS and even more so from the future professionals who may be drawn to an exciting and rewarding career through the brochure,” said ASPRS Executive Director James Plasker.
“BAE Systems is delighted to support ASPRS in this way. We value our relationship with the Society very highly — through publications, conferences and an annual award — but assisting with the publication of the Career Brochure enables us to help ASPRS benefit the wider community beyond its membership by emphasizing the attractions of careers in photogrammetry and remote sensing,” added Stewart Walker, BAE Systems’ director of marketing for Geospatial eXploitation Products.
