Water and Wastewater Technician

Northern Alberta Institute of Technology

Freshwater is the planet's most important resource. It's necessary to sustain life, cultivate food and generate power. Although 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, less than 1% of it is freshwater. This natural scarcity, coupled with an increasingly environmentally-conscious society, has created a strong demand for highly skilled, well-trained professionals in the field of water management. The NAIT Water and Wastewater Technician program - the only such program in Alberta - is designed to provide you with the important skills necessary for a rewarding career in this growing industry.
