National University and Cuyamaca College are proud to support the workforce needs of the waterworks industry. No other resource is more vital to California’s survival and prosperity than its water supply. The water and wastewater industry anticipates a rapidly growing demand for highly skilled professionals in the coming years. As current seasoned leaders retire, the water and wastewater agencies will face increasing position vacancies, many of which require a bachelor’s degree. This academic pathway is possible thanks to the insight and recommendations of regional employers coordinated by the Center for Water Studies at Cuyamaca College and the San Diego County Water Authority.
