Connecticut’s utility sector is facing a flood of retirements and a drought of skilled workers. With nearly half of the workforce at the region’s utility companies eligible to retire within five years, Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) and Gateway Community College (GCC) have joined forces to develop a unique educational pipeline to prepare workers to fill those anticipated openings.
The Public Utility Management Degree Programs are designed to align with career tracks in water, wastewater, gas and electric utility management. Coursework and internships will enable students to gain theoretical and practical hands-on knowledge important for working in public utilities.
Successful graduates of the Associate in Science program at GCC can enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year Bachelor of Science degree program at SCSU, or students can enroll in the four-year program at SCSU right out of high school.
The RWA will cover full tuition costs for any RWA employee pursuing the Public Utility Management Associate Degree at Gateway or the Public Utility Management Bachelor’s Degree at SCSU with a specialization in water management.
