The Water Environment Federation is offering a new webcast program that will provide free training to members and the entire water profession. Monthly webcasts on a range of timely topics are made possible at no cost through the financial support of industry organizations and companies.
“As a leading resource of water quality education and resources, WEF continues to seek innovative and beneficial ways to serve our membership and the water profession,” said executive director Jeff Eger. “With the support of our sponsor partners, we are very pleased to be able to provide this training program so that water professionals may gain access to a breadth of water knowledge without additional financial burden.”
Traditionally hosting between two and four webcasts per month, WEF has historically charged for these events on a fee per site basis. As an added benefit for WEF members and the profession as a whole, the new program allows viewers to participate at no cost while increasing the visibility of the sponsors through the placement of company logos, ads and links during live and archived webcasts.
Each webcast features top experts in the field, detailed information from case studies, and the opportunity for participants to submit live questions through the system software. Professional development hours may be earned on a case-by-case basis. Beginning this month, the 2012 topics will include: biosolids and biofuels, collections systems, operator training, design fundamentals, membranes, energy recovery/renewal, thermal hydrolysis, marketing, social media, and more.
