Education of Technicians for Water Conservation and Wastewater Control.

There is a growing need for supportive personnel with technical preparation in water and wastewater purification and water resource conservation. A curriculum and program guide was developed in 1965-66 by Fayetteville Technical Institute for use by institutions interested in establishing a program to educate technicians. Meeting the need for increasing water technician programs lies within the reach of our national leaders, particularly employers. Methods such as improving student recruitment and student development programs, upgrading present employees in post-high school programs, and utilizing funds provided by current vocational education legislation should be utilized. A suggested reference availability list is appended. (GR)
