NRWA Apprenticeship Program Signing Ceremony | November 14
Attachments: NRWA Apprenticeship lnvite.pdf
Good afternoon Lee and Sarah,
There will be a ceremonial signing of the NRWA/DOL Apprenticeship Program for the water and wastewater industry at 101 Constitution Ave. NW on Tuesday, November 14th at 3:30 pm. Ten State Rural Water Associations have or in the process of registering their own programs under NRWA's National Guideline Standard, and Indiana is leading the charge by signing up the first four apprentices. We view this effort as a major step in the development of a future qualified workforce for rural and small systems.
We would like to invite you to this ceremonial signing, designed to provide national exposure to the effort. We invite your participation if your schedule allows, and of course anyone from the agency is more than welcome. This event is occurring during National Apprenticeship Week. A list of supporting organizations is below, as well as invited dignitaries. We are following up with House and Senate members now. Just let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Matthew Holmes Deputy CEO National Rural Water Association
