Water Workforce
Summit & Career Fair

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 series will be the 2026 Water Workforce Summit & Career Fair on February 12-13, 2026 at CSU Spur in Denver with the Water Workforce Summit being held on Thursday, February 12 and the Career Fair on Friday, February 13.
