About
We’ve got a crisis in southern California. Our growing population is relying on a shrinking water source…and over the next ten years, we’re going to lose close to 50% of our water industry professionals as boomers retire. Who will make sure we all have clean, safe water?
Building a “People Pipeline”
 Project: WaterWorks is an industry-driven, regional collaborative grant sponsored by California Community Colleges’ Economic and Workforce Development Program. Project: WaterWorks aims to assist Cuyamaca and Palomar Colleges in partnering with each other and regional community colleges that offer water related courses, Southern California water agencies, industry vendors, state and national professional associations to address regional workforce development issues. Funding enables instructional resource and program improvement, and broader outreach and student recruitment to address a rapidly shrinking water industry workforce. Top-quality training for new and tenured water industry professionals is just one of the many deliverables of Project: WaterWorks.
