Water and Wastewater Management Course to Begin November 7.

Water and Waste Water Management Candidate School to Begin 7th Year in November

Management Candidate School (MCS), a 12-month program designed to train the next generation of Water & Wastewater managers and supervisors will begin its 7th year in November, 2015.  The program is offered by NEIWPCC-JETCC, Maine DEP and DHHS, MEWEA and MWUA to provide intensive training, networking and skill-development coursework to those providing the critical work of managing the state's water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. This exciting training program is aimed at mid-level operators with management potential.

Following a model established by Rhode Island, NEIWPCC-JETCC's Board of Directors and the MEWEA Executive Committee spearheaded the effort to launch the first Maine MCS in 2009. The year-long program includes management courses, technical courses (i.e. blue-print reading, construction planning), personnel management, media relations, dealing with regulatory agencies, and budget preparation.  Participants earn more than 70 training contact hours and will be able to count the training for two renewal cycles.

The next MCS is scheduled to begin November 18 and run the 3rd Wednesday of every month (excluding holidays). The location is the Greater Augusta Utility District (GAUD) in Augusta.
