Water Environment Technologies - Advisory Committee

The Water Environment Technologies program at St. Cloud Technical College relies on the water community of Minnesota and surrounding states. Their role is to ensure the programs offered are current in content, use the latest technologies, and will attempt to place the graduates in water and/or wastewater positions throughout the world.

An advisory board of industry professionals meets with the WETT staff twice each year to go over various aspects of the WETT program. At that time, decisions are made on the direction the program should be heading. The make up of the program, classes offered, text books used, equipment purchases, new trends on the horizon, and other relevant issues are discussed.

We're very proud and thankful that the Water Environment Technologies program has such dedicated industry professionals to help ensure our graduates successful water and wastewater careers.
