Kansas City, MO  – With brand new live events and updated products, the American Public Works Association’s (APWA) PWX@Home is highlighting Engineering, Technology, and Asset Management throughout the month of January. Each month through July 2021, APWA is offering virtual education sessions related to a specialty within public works, and providing dynamic professional credentialing and networking opportunities to all public works professionals.

“Since September, we have seen a clear, and increasing interest in APWA’s virtual offerings with the number of registrants growing every month, and we are pleased to provide quality education programming and credentialing materials to assist public works professionals in continuing their career development,” said APWA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Scott D. Grayson, CAE.

Live, virtual forums such as the Small Cities/Rural Communities Perspective On Series, which has become the most highly attended live program over the past two months, is one example of the unique public works sessions participants can join to exchange knowledge with peers from across North America.
