The North Carolina Rural Water Association, located in Welcome, NC is pleased to announce the very first Water and Wastewater Operation Specialists Apprenticeship in North Carolina. NCRWA is answering the call to replenish the aging water and wastewater operation specialist jobs in North Carolina.
NCRWA apprentices will be paid as a regular employee while being trained to meet the highest industry standards. Apprentices will complete 2 years of on-the-job training with a qualified and experienced water or wastewater operator and also receive 288 hours of classroom instruction for certification at no cost to the apprentice.

NCRWA is committed to providing equal opportunity to all who qualify. It is our aim to help bring diversity to the water and wastewater industry to include women, people of color, veterans, individuals with disabilities. The North Carolina Rural Water Association will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.

Like many, we are deeply saddened by the death of our “Notorious RBG.” An outstanding jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a force unlike any other as a leader in our nation’s continual quest to become a more perfect union. In her own words, “Think how the constitution begins: ‘We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union’, and one of the perfections is for the ‘we the people’ to include an ever enlarged group.”

For the American Association of University Women, her words reflect equality and equity that are the very heartbeat of our organization: “Women belong in all the places where decisions are being made.” In her first appearance before the Supreme Court in 1973, RBG noted, “Sex like race, is a visible, immutable characteristic, bearing no necessary relationship to ability.” And in her closing argument that day, RBG used a stark quote from abolitionist Sarah Grimke, “I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”

On getting older, Ruth reported, “I’ve learned two things. One is to seek ever more the joys of being alive… and, at my age one must take things day by day.”

“In my life, what I find most satisfying is that I was part of a movement that made life better, not just for women. I think gender discrimination is bad for everyone, it’s bad for men, it’s bad for children.”

And finally, “Hope springs eternal. If I lose today, there’s hope that tomorrow will be better.”
May that be so.

Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, for adding so much to the lives of American citizens - men, women and children. Rest in peace…

Jane Terwillegar, President
