Career Skills Center (CSC) is a
GeoSpatial registered company based in Kenya. It provides professional training
services in geo-information and ICT. It also does research and development to
promote innovative solutions and applications in the use of geo-information. Geospatial data is used for different
applications so as to analyze patterns and trends, e.g., transport networks,
hydrology, population characteristics, economic activity, disaster management, urban planning etc. CSC
offers training programmes that enable clients be able to relate and analyze the
different kinds of data to come up with meaningful information that can be used
in decision making.

Geographic Information System (GIS)
is a computer system that captures, stores, manipulates, analyzes, manages and
displays all kinds of spatial (geographical) data, i.e., data that can be referenced
to locations on the earth. Can also be defined as software that captures
geographic data for the purpose of manipulation, viewing and analysis in
whichever context and parameters the user desires or needs. It can be used to
analyse spatial data or geographic information for any given and possible
purpose. A key feature of GIS is that some of the data has to be spatial, i.e.,
the data has X and Y coordinates. A lot of data can be input into a GIS that
will build up on the spatial data, e.g., a hospital; the actual location of the
hospital is the spatial database. Additional data, e.g., name of the hospital, number
of staff, how many patients visit the hospital in a certain month would be
input in the GIS. From such data, the hospital would be able to determine, for
example, whether it is overstaffed or understaffed. Another
key feature of GIS is that the final product will be a digital map. A GIS map is different
from other visuals because it easily shows patterns and relationships that may
not be clear in tables or charts. GIS mapping allows multiple layers of
information to be displayed on one map.
