This presentation highlights the recent training activities for both current and new Geostationary and Polar orbiting satellites that are being carried out and planned nationally through the Virtual Institute for Satellite Integrated Training (VISIT) program, the Satellite Hydrology and Meteorology (SHyMet) program and dedicated Liaisons. It will also highlight activities being carried out internationally through the World Meteorological Organization Virtual Laboratory for Training and Education (WMO VLab). It will point out similarities and differences to training approaches in the national and international communities and offer ways in which both communities can leverage their strengths and weaknesses to continue to collaborate and learn from each other to increase the utilization of environmental satellite data.
