New Jersey American Water and Apex Solutions Group Host Graduation Ceremony for “Water UP!” Training Program - Seite 2

New Jersey American Water first launched the Water UP! training program in Camden in September 2021 as part of New Jersey American Water’s Workforce Development Program. The program is designed to create a career path to connect young adults from underserved populations in New Jersey American Water’s service areas with a career path by helping participants identify and pursue transformative career opportunities in the water and wastewater industry. Completion of the program uniquely prepares participants for open opportunities within New Jersey American Water, American Water, and its utility industry partners.

The Water UP! program is part of a broader workforce development initiative by New Jersey American Water that includes career education and outreach initiatives, as well as an ongoing GIS career development program between New Jersey American Water’s Engineering team and the Camden-based nonprofit career development organization Hopeworks. These workforce development initiatives provide innovative and collaborative opportunities that connect young adults in underserved communities to water utility careers.
