WATER APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (WAP)

The Birmingham Water Works remains committed to empowering the next generation of leaders. Through participation in the Water Apprenticeship Program (WAP), high school seniors will have an opportunity to learn life skills, work in a professional environment and earn resources that enable them to potentially improve their quality of life through the workforce. Over the course of five months, these students participate in and complete five modules: Customer Service, General Safety, Mentorship, Compliance and Regulations, and Professional Development.   At the end of the program they will have the opportunity to apply for a regular position with the Birmingham Water Works Board provided they have successfully completed the objectives of the program (i.e. regular attendance, timely attendance, completion of each of the required modules, etc.).
