Earth & Planetary Sciences Seminar - Josh Goodwin, PG, CEG - “Geologist-in-Training (GIT): Pathway to the California Professional Geologist License.”

The Board invites you to learn about certification as a Geologist-In-Training (GIT). The GIT is the first step toward becoming a California-licensed Professional Geologist (PG). Learn about the laws and regulations that govern the practice of geology in California and why being licensed is important to your future success as a geologist. Gain an understanding of important definitions in the Geologist and Geophysicist Act (Law), and how to get on-the-job experience in order to qualify for a geology license. Finding a job once you’ve got your degree can be a daunting prospect. Here’s your chance to get the perspective of a professional geologist on the entire career process (resume, interviews, job experience, licensure), and to learn how the GIT can give you credibility when applying for jobs.
