It’s designed to spark curiosity, build awareness, and show how water connects to everything - from public health and the environment to engineering and innovation.
Teachers can access the materials online or request printed packs. The programme also links to wider initiatives like DYW (Developing the Young Workforce) and STEM Nation, helping schools meet their career education goals.
By introducing water careers early, Generation H₂O helps build a pipeline of future talent. It shows pupils that the sector is full of variety, purpose, and opportunity - and that they could be part of it.
