Educational Resources
Providing Essential Training and Educational Opportunities to Wastewater Operators
Operators Unlimited understands the challenges of not only recruiting wastewater operators but also providing the necessary training and continuing education opportunities for ongoing employee development, growth and success. We work closely with our customer partners, both industrial and municipal industry colleagues, to provide these essential educational elements needed for predictable and compliant wastewater operations.
Training
As a service to our customer partners, Operators Unlimited offers training through job shadowing and on-site instruction. This training has been developed to not only review wastewater fundamentals but also help develop the skill sets of less experienced operators. From solids removal and determining optimal chemical dosing to chemistry needs and safety, OU training can be customized to meet customer needs. Our training classes can be scheduled by contacting our Education Specialist David Collyer for additional information.
