Water Skills
The professional competitions at IFAT
With the competitions „Water Skills Germany“ for trainees and „World Water Skills“ for professionals with participants from Germany and all over the world, DWA will be hosting one of the central action areas at IFAT Munich.
Young and old show their skills in various disciplines that reflect the everyday life of a wastewater technology specialist. In this way, they not only advertise this important profession, but also motivate each other and grow in their tasks.
