The groundwater industry, like others, is competing for talented individuals with solid science and good mathematics skills. How do we not only encourage young people to pursue a career in groundwater, but guide and nurture their professional growth when they’ve made that choice. Consulting firms and regulatory agencies are invited to share what has and hasn’t worked and new/early career professionals encouraged to share the activities that have and continue to benefit them. This is an open discussion and all Summit participants are invited to attend.
