## Description (the employer's text)

WIL is seeking an Apprenticeship Program Manager for water and wastewater utilities to co-design and host registered apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship pathways with measurable job placement.

About the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

WIL is building partnerships with water and wastewater utilities, registered apprenticeship sponsors, and training providers to expand career pathways into water-sector trades. This is a collaboration and affiliate track. Engagement is scoped by project. Full-time employment or a project-based contract may be used when a joint award calls for it.

Learn more: https://wilinstitute.org

We engage experienced practitioners for both full-time employment and project-based contract roles, as applicable to the award and staffing model. Engagements are remote-first with travel as required for partner and field sites. We build ready teams for live grant and sponsored-research pursuits.

This opportunity is contingent upon grant or sponsored-project award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal or funding package.

What you'll do

Represent a utility, apprenticeship sponsor, labor partner, or training provider willing to co-deliver water-trades pathways

Help define trainee cohorts, supervisors or mentors, and job-placement pathways into water and wastewater roles

Share non-proprietary program design inputs: hours, credentials, safety and onboarding, and success metrics

Coordinate letters of support or MOU language for joint workforce proposals when mutually agreed

Optionally advise WIL on evaluation metrics for completion, placement, and retention

### Requirements

Required

Current role at a drinking water or wastewater utility, registered apprenticeship sponsor, labor organization, community college or technical school, or nonprofit training organization serving the water sector

Authority, or a clear path to authority, to discuss partnership or host-site arrangements

Experience running or supporting internships, apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships, or bridge programs

Willingness to be considered for time-bounded collaboration (affiliate, consulting, or institutional partnership)

Authorization to work with a U.S. research organization

Open to full-time employment or project-based contract engagement; remote-first with travel as partner and field work requires

Nice to have

Registered apprenticeship standards already in place for water or wastewater occupations

Track record of measurable trainee placements into utility jobs

Experience with federal or state workforce grants as a partner

A geographic focus you can host and an approximate annual trainee capacity
