Great Lakes Water Authority preps for future with apprenticeship porgram
The GLWA supplies water to 4 million customers and another 3 million use its waste water services. They employ thousands of employees and needed to make a change in 2017. They looked into the future and saw a lot of workers, and their knowledge, were about to leave the company. So they partnered with Focus Hope, Michigan Works, and the City of Detroit to look for apprentices to soak up the knowledge before it's too late.
