This year, the company will host the camp in two locations for students to explore career pathways and participate in hands-on opportunities and mentorship-- in McMurray, Washington County from June 16-18 and in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County from June 23-25.
"Investing in our youth is an investment in the future of our workforce," said Pennsylvania American Water President Justin Ladner. "By creating opportunities for young people to gain real-world experience, we are helping develop the next generation of water and wastewater leaders who will keep our communities strong and our essential services moving forward."
The Flow Forward students will participate in skill-building workshops and learning activities, facility tours, resume and interview preparation and have opportunities to network and speak with company staff and industry experts, providing real-world experience and career exploration in the water and wastewater industries.
Internship Program
Pennsylvania American Water also offers the Future Wavemakers Internship Program for college students.
Designed to cultivate the next generation of water and wastewater industry leaders, this initiative is built on the foundation of mentorship, professional development and real-world projects that align with both students' academic backgrounds and American Water's organizational goals.
Interns participate in capstone projects, networking events and skill-building workshops, all while contributing fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to the company.
This year, the program welcomed 16 college interns at Pennsylvania American Water workplaces across the state, offering hands-on experience in engineering, finance, operations, health and safety, communications and more.
Requests For Career Fairs
In addition to internship experiences, the company conducts outreach throughout the year to educate students and adults alike about career paths and job opportunities in the water and wastewater industry.
The company also partners with schools, colleges, elected officials, government agencies and non-profits and statewide organizations to promote careers in the water industry through participation at school presentations, facility tours, career fairs, community events and more.
