Inspired by an article in an American Water Works Association (AWWA) publication, the idea of
an in-house training program for departmental employees became reality for the City of Durham's
Department of Water Management. The idea received a lot of interest at a departmental retreat
in September, 2005. A committee was formed, research was done, assignments were made and the
program began in January 2006. Classes focusing on each of the departmental divisions were
scheduled for two hours each for thirteen different weeks. The classes are taught by division
supervisors and other key personnel, using a Power Point template developed by committee
members designed to keep presentations consistent. Favorite class activities include tours and
demonstrations of the jobs performed and tools used by other divisions. Students from most
divisions of the department enjoyed the challenge of learning more about how their job fits into
the big picture of the Department of Water Management.
