2024 Interagency Water Workforce Working Group Report to Congress
The EPA developed the 2024 Interagency Water Workforce Working Group Report to Congress (pdf) in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Education, Labor, and Veterans Affairs.
The report identifies the major challenges the water workforce is facing and highlights opportunities to address these challenges through a “key pillars” framework. This framework outlines recruitment, training, retention, and partnership strategies that are essential to building the nation’s workforce. Additionally, the report includes examples of utilities, communities, and organizations implementing these strategies, exemplifying how communities can tailor water workforce development approaches to their specific needs and circumstances.
