Roseville launches training program to address shortage of water utility workers
Cities across the country are facing a shortage of workers needed to operate and maintain critical water systems. In Roseville, a new training program aims to prepare the next generation of water utility workers as experienced employees approach retirement. Roseville, California, is facing a shortage of workers needed to operate and maintain critical water systems. Nearly 10% of water utility jobs are currently unfilled, and over 20% of workers are expected to retire within the next five years. The city has launched a training program to train the next generation of water utilities. The training comes as Roseville continues to maintain aging water infrastructure, with some underground pipes approaching 100 years old. The 16-week program aims to help students toward state certification and prepare them for jobs in the field.
