New Strategic Partnership for Water Industry
The Institute of water are the only professional body solely dedicated to careers in water. Earlier in June they announced that they were forming a strategic partnership with EU Skills. The partnership will help to promote competence, skills and career development for those working in the water industry.
They will work together to improve the sector and to attract new trainees and senior leaders to the industry. They will actively promote water careers and help to make the standard in the sector one of excellence and welcome the input of other water industry bodies to join them in the partnership.
As part of their commitment the institute have already implemented induction training and an online e learning course for those people already in the industry. Course graduates will have the chance to become part of the Water community and will be added to a skills register held by Energy and Utility Skills. This will further enhance the industry and enable employers to verify the skills of the workforce from a trusted source.

Water Treatment Consultant
Lanoratory Support Technician
Water and Gas Monitoring Manager
Drainage Engineer
