InFLOW is comprised of two different tracks: CareerTech and STEMpath. CareerTech partners with community-based organizations to expose scholars in job readiness programs to the variety of rewarding career possibilities in water quality. STEMpath identifies scholars enrolled in undergraduate and graduate degree programs to introduce and provide opportunities to enter the water workforce.
