H2O Careers
This educational program gives high school students a hands-on way to learn what it takes to operate a world-class utility like WSSC Water, and offers a glimpse of the careers that are possible.
The H2O Careers programs helps students understand the work required to provide the community with superior water delivery and recovery services.
H2O Careers focuses on hands-on learning experiences and gives students a glimpse of water service careers that are possible. The programs also let students stretch their creativity and try out their problem-solving skills to find answers to real problems that water professionals face every day.
Two levels of H2O Careers are available, each geared to different high school grades:
- Water Works Academy introduces students in the ninth through 12th grades to the work done at a water utility. Students learn about basic infrastructure, water meters, water towers and water quality.
- H2O Engineers is a more in-depth program in which 11th-and 12th-grade students dig deeper into the engineering principles that help a water utility function. Students learn about flow and pressure, infrastructure design and planning, and the roles that technology and innovation play in the water sector.
H2O Careers are one-day sessions accommodating groups of 15 – 20 students.
