Workforce Development

New Jersey American Water Workforce Development Programs connect young adults from underserved populations with education, exposure and transformative career opportunities within communities where we do business.

Active programs within External Affairs currently include the Water Utility Pipeline (Water UP!) training program and career education and outreach initiatives. Additional programs are being evaluated for implementation in 2023.

Additionally, New Jersey American Water’s Engineering team has an ongoing GIS program with Hopeworks, and American Water’s Talent Acquisition team has an internship program and other initiatives for creating pathways to careers in the water utility industry.
