National Apprenticeship Celebration

The Great Lakes Water Authority’s National Apprenticeship Celebration is a powerful opportunity to honor the dedication, achievements, and future potential of apprentices who are building essential careers in the water and wastewater industry. This event showcases GLWA’s commitment to workforce development, equity, and sustainable talent pipelines that strengthen both the organization and the communities we serve. Attending the celebration allows an opportunity to connect with emerging talent, support apprentices as they transition into critical roles, and learn firsthand how apprenticeship programs contribute to operational excellence and regional infrastructure resilience. It’s also an inspiring space for our team members, educators, and community partners to explore collaboration, celebrate progress, and reaffirm their investment in the next generation of skilled professionals.
