The US Water Alliance's Water Workforce and Leadership Library highlights accessible, forward-looking examples of water workforce apprenticeship, internship, and leadership development programs, as well as regional collaboratives, that can serve as replicable models for others trying to sustainably build their local or regional water workforce

The presentation explores how we can take a coordinated approach to developing the workforce that powers Texas water and broadband. The takeaway: many of the tools, programs, and partners we need are already in place — we just need to put them to work.

Texas Rural Funders and Texas Water Foundation commissioned Jobs for the Future to conduct a landscape analysis across the state of Texas.
