Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCV Water) recently announced they have partnered with the College of the Canyons (COC) Employee Training Institute (ETI) to develop a Project Management training for local water professionals. The ETI at COC provides customized workplace education and training to businesses, municipalities, and government agencies.
“We’re seeing an increase in various projects across SCV Water, and the need for qualified project managers,” said SCV Water Director of Water Resources Ali Elhassan. “We are partnering with the ETI, so that our staff can develop those critical project management skills which will allow us to grow as our projects evolve.”
