Thanks to a partnership between the STTE Foundation, El Paso Water, and the Trust for the Americas, supported by the North American Development Bank and Microsoft, the Skills for Sustainability Program (S4S) seeks 200 eager individuals interested in getting the skills, training, and mentorship needed to launch next-gen careers in the sustainable water industry.
If selected for the S4S Program, you’ll receive six weeks of hands-on training at Western Tech’s (9451 Diana Dr., El Paso, TX 79924). You’ll learn professional skills and instruction in mathematics, chemistry, biology, among other essential topics for an entry-level technical employment in private companies and public utilities like El Paso Water.
Some of the program graduates will advance to further training, apprenticeships, and secure permanent positions at El Paso Water and other regional employers involved in the water industry. All participants will receive career advising and professional development resources through the program.
