The future of the water sector
Young Water Professionals
IWA's activities for Young Water Professionals (YWPs) aim to empower the next generation of water leaders to face current and future challenges in the water sector and beyond.
Who we are
About the Community
IWA invests in Young Water Professionals, by empowering them within the association and the water sector.
Within IWA, young members (18-35 years old) are able to build their careers in our network. They connect and contribute to the water sector by working with peers internationally, and through this build their network, develop professionally, and develop their profile.
