Notice of TIC Closure: Effective December 31, 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey, Technology Information Center (TIC) officially closed for business. For the past 23 years the TIC has provided excellence in IT training to federal, state, and local government employees as well as contractors. Your business and loyalty over the past 23 years has been greatly appreciated. In an effort to aid you in finding alternative training sources we have listed a number of outside vendors and their contact information. For Alternative Sources of Training click here. If you have any additional questions regarding the closure of TIC operations, please feel free to contact Deborah Treseder at 303-202-4665.
