WEF, AWWA Launch New ‘Work for Water’ Web Site
The Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) recently launched WorkForWater.org, a collaborative Web site featuring resources for water recruiters, career seekers and students.
The site addresses one of the water community’s top concerns in the coming decade—the expected retirement of 30 percent of the water workforce and the need to recruit new talent to the field. The AWWA and WEF in March announced the Work for Water outreach campaign, which promotes water careers as both professionally fulfilling and aligned to the greatest public health and environmental cause of our day — access to safe water and sanitation services.
The new Web site is a gateway to many recruiting and retention resources already available throughout North America and beyond. The WEF and AWWA are inviting organizations to contribute documents, videos, and links that benefit both career seekers and employers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which joined with AWWA and WEF members in developing the Work for Water campaign, posted a portion of its new “Water you waiting for?” video on the site. WorkForWater.org also highlights efforts such as the Georgia Association of Water Professionals’ H2Opportunity!, and the Water Sector Competency Model jointly released by WEF, AWWA, the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. EPA last November.
The site has landing pages for four audiences: high school and vocational school students, college students, second-career and retired military job seekers, and advanced science professionals.
