👏👏

: Last week, NRWA launched the NRWA Employer Incentivization Program, which supports workforce development in rural communities through structured apprenticeship training in water and wastewater systems operations.

The program, supported by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration, provides up to $20,000 in incentive payments to newly engaged employers participating in an NRWA-approved, federally registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP).

This Imagine a Day Without Water, we’re reminded why investing in our water infrastructure and supporting the people who maintain it matters every single day.
