NCRWA Registered Apprenticeship Program


Thousands of water industry workers are expected to retire over the next five to ten years, leading to a huge gap to fill our Water and Wastewater Systems Operation Specialists jobs. Through the NCRWA program, apprentices will gain knowledge from industry professionals who have the appropriate experience and know the required certifications and qualifications. The apprentice will leave the program able to thrive as a water industry professional. The NCRWA apprenticeship program provides apprentices, 18 years old and above, opportunities to learn water and wastewater industry knowledge and practices through on-the-job training and classroom instruction to improve the overall professionalism of the industry and to support our members’ continued workforce needs.
