This program applies technical and practical skills training in both a municipal/industrial stream as well as a rural/agricultural stream. The program is designed to address the critical shortage of trained and qualified sewage and/or water plant operators, and to train and certify personnel to assist growers in addressing nutrient management and source water protection regulations that affect many farms and rural residents across Ontario.
