Jumpstart Your Career: Central Arizona College Offers Local Water and Wastewater Workshops This Summer

Central Arizona College is introducing noncredit workshops for those interested in water and wastewater careers. These workshops are part of the Operator Certification Training – Water Distribution 1 & 2 and will be held this summer at the Superstition Mountain and Signal Peak campuses. They target individuals with little to no prior experience who aim to start careers as entry-level operators.

The workshops last for three days, with each day featuring eight hours of intensive training. Nathan Long, an expert in the field, will lead the sessions, focusing on essential knowledge and skills for water distribution operations.

After completing the workshops, participants can take the operator certification exam at approved Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) testing sites. Achieving certification is crucial for securing a job in Arizona's growing water industry.

Megan Purvis, the Director of Community & Continuing Education at the college, states that the workshops are ideal for recent high school graduates and those considering a career shift. She emphasizes that a Water Distribution Operator certification can greatly improve job prospects in the sector.
