Enhanced Certification • Public Works and Transportation is a HUGE occupational grouping • Can cover everything from water and wastewater operators to road design technologists to winter maintenance patrollers. And there are very few common denominators within their career paths. • After much discussion, we settled on 2 categories for the new Infrastructure Enhanced Certification: Specialist and Professional
