Water & Wastewater Operations Specialist Apprenticeship Programs

Water and Wastewater Operations Specialists are imperative to your community for access to clean drinking water and to ensure wastewater effluent is returned to the environment properly. But with close to 50% retiring in the next five years, communities will fail to prosper or eventually even exist if replacements aren’t put in place AND properly trained. A growing population and increased demand for water and wastewater treatment services plus an aging workforce will drive employment growth and qualified, certified Operations Systems Specialists will be in high demand.

Our standard program prepares the apprentice for class II licensure testing in either water or wastewater.

Our advanced program prepares the apprentice to sit for class III licensure testing in either water or wastewater.
