Katerina Schilling tells her story and professional development enabled by IWA. The water sector needs to attract and inspire professionals to choose to work and stay in the water sector. The water-related Sustainable Development Goals and targets will require a water sector workforce that is adequate in numbers and competencies. By sharing their Water Career Stories, the IWA water professionals want to contribute towards a water workforce that is adequate in size and competencies. Contributing towards a world in which water is wisely managed to satisfy the needs of human activities and ecosystems in an equitable and sustainable way, the IWA mission. Join the group: Water Career Development. To continue to develop emerging water leaders, IWA is organising the International Young Water Professional Conference, a must attend event for Professional Development for Young Water Professionals. www.iwaywpconference.org/
