Students will brainstorm and develop a video depicting a story about careers in the water and wastewater industry.

Students will research and create an engaging video that:

• follows EMWD brand guidelines
• briefly introduces EMWD and its services
• highlights three different career paths within the water and wastewater industry
• specifies the education and skills needed for each career
• describes the benefits of working in the water and wastewater industry
• builds a fun and engaging storyline rather than just stating facts
