“With the historic passing of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill last November, we have a tremendous opportunity to concentrate efforts towards solutions that create a sustainable pipeline of opportunity,” said David L. Gadis, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of DC Water, one of the largest and most highly regarded water utilities in the nation.

亚洲博彩网站’s Developing America’s Workforce Nucleus (DAWN) Initiative with the District of Columbia Public Schools and the Department of Energy and the Environment also brings economic mobility to DC area residents. 通过DAWN， 亚洲博彩网站及其合作伙伴加强了围绕8区Anacostia社区的黑人、棕色人种和经济弱势学生的有前途的、被忽视的人才的生态系统。

“We will meet people where they are and give them the tools they need to succeed,” said 亚洲博彩网站 总统 Ronald Mason Jr. “We are building an equitable workforce and securing our energy future.”

“We are committed to America’s brave, bold future of innovation and opportunity for everyone,” Mason said. “America cannot find, nurture and sustain the vast numbers needed for its talent pipeline without nurturing the potential of all Americans.”
