The Flow Forward program runs from July 14 to 16, utilizing both the American Water headquarters on the Camden Waterfront and the Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant in Delran. Students will gain practical exposure to the utility sector through mock interviews, resume workshops, and direct mentorship from industry professionals. By touring treatment facilities and engaging in team projects, participants learn how technical roles in fields like finance, communications, and water quality directly impact the daily health of their neighborhoods.
