2026 Water Workforce recap

The 2026 Water Workforce Summit and Career Fair were a great success thanks to our participants and partners. We look forward to hosting the Career Fair in 2027 and the Workforce Summit in 2028.

The Water Workforce Summit and Career Fair event series

The Colorado Water Center’s Water Workforce Summit and Career Fair launched in April 2024 as an opportunity to convene students, water industry professionals and employers, water-related educators and trainers, workforce development specialists, and other stakeholders to discuss and address water workforce needs across the state.

Held every other year, the Water Workforce Summit is a day of water education and workforce stakeholder engagement with a keynote speaker, panel discussions, and breakout group work.

The Water Workforce Career Fair takes place every year, connecting water workforce professionals, organizations, and businesses, with students from Colorado State University, technical colleges, high school programs, and other institutions of higher learning.

The next Water Workforce event will be the 2027 Career Fair.
