The California WaterWorks: Building the People Pipeline is a project at Cuyamaca College to identify and train the next generation of water industry professionals who will operate and maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps our water safe and reliable. The project will develop a new "Institute for Water Studies" that embeds contextualized STEM learning opportunities in technical courses at the college. It will also work with local 7-12 math and science teachers to provide contextualized teaching modules and demonstrations of water and wastewater equipment for 7-12 students. Students at the college will assemble an above-ground water distribution system that allows them to hone their mechanical skills and gain relevant job experience in the classroom. Through these activities, the project will develop career pathways that recruit women, underrepresented students, and veterans into careers in water and wastewater management. As part of their effort to educate the next generation of water technicians and replace an aging workforce, the California WaterWorks project will develop new stackable certifications in water treatment, water distribution, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection. These certificates will offer multiple entrance, multiple exit pathways aligned with industry standards and credentials. The project will also implement the ACT WorkKeys and National Career Readiness Certification materials to improve students' job readiness and soft skills. To support recruitment efforts, the project will work with ATETV to produce a series of recruitment video that target women and transitioning military personnel with STEM skills, and inform them of career opportunities in the water and wastewater management industries. The curricula, videos, and other teaching materials will be shared with other community colleges through the ATE network.

加州自来水厂：建设人民管道是在库亚马卡学院的一个项目，以确定和培训下一代水行业的专业人士谁将操作和维护的关键基础设施，保持我们的水安全和可靠。该项目将开发一个新的“水研究所”，在学院的技术课程中嵌入情境化的STEM学习机会。它还将与当地7-12数学和科学教师合作，为7-12名学生提供情境化的教学模块和水和废水设备演示。该学院的学生将组装一个地上配水系统，使他们能够磨练自己的机械技能，并在课堂上获得相关的工作经验。通过这些活动，该项目将开发职业途径，招募妇女，代表性不足的学生和退伍军人进入水和废水管理职业。作为教育下一代水务技术人员和取代老龄化劳动力的努力的一部分，加州水务工程项目将在水处理、配水、废水处理和废水收集方面开发新的可堆叠认证。这些证书将提供符合行业标准和证书的多个入口，多个出口途径。该项目还将实施ACT WorkKeys和国家职业准备认证材料，以提高学生的就业准备和软技能。为了支持招聘工作，该项目将与ATETV合作，制作一系列招聘视频，针对具有STEM技能的妇女和过渡军事人员，并告知他们在水和废水管理行业的职业机会。课程，视频和其他教学材料将通过ATE网络与其他社区学院共享。
