Apprenticeship & Youth Outreach Programs
I would recommend the apprenticeship program for anyone looking to make a career in this industry and was appreciative of the knowledge provided during my participation.
Without the program instructors and my mentor’s dedication, knowledge and friendship it would have been much more difficult for me to get to where I am today THANK YALL.
The program was both helpful and informative, giving a much more detailed explanation than received in the short course alone.
The apprenticeship class I went through was awesome. Charles and Randy are the most wholesome people. They care about not only teaching us the ins and outs of the water world, but they also care about us as people.
I am thankful for the apprenticeship program because it covers a lot of situations in the field that are not common knowledge. Had I not gone through this program it would have been almost impossible to step in and run the system as quickly as I have. I am also grateful for all the help that Randy Turnage and Charles Pickering has given me. Those two along with many others have done an awesome job with this program and I recommend it highly.
The apprenticeship program is an amazing way to learn about the industry and absorb the material you need for the water operator’s exam no matter what class you’re seeking. I am grateful I was able to participate in the program, graduate, and pass my class B certification.
I enjoyed my time in the apprenticeship program. The classes and teachers really helped me understand better and learn how to be a good operator.
The apprenticeship program I think is a fantastic thing. It opens a lot of possibilities for people in a critical industry for the country.
The apprenticeship program really helped me learn the ins and outs of water. The hands on/in person learning is much more sufficient.
