WASHINGTON -- The National Rural Water Association, the nation's largest water utility association with more than 31,000 members, today formerly announced a partnership with the United States Department of Labor (DOL) to launch a nation-wide apprenticeship program. The WaterPro Apprenticeship Program, tailored to water and wastewater system operations specialists, is now a nationally-recognized standard with the DOL.
