Barnstable County Participates in 4Cs 2025 WaterWORKS Career Event

On Tuesday, January 14, 2025, hundreds of students from Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket attended the annual WaterWORKS career event at 4Cs. During their visit, they had the opportunity to interact with blue economy and STEM-related employers and educators through interactive displays, one-on-one conversations, and panel Q&A sessions, highlighting the career opportunities waiting for them on Cape Cod and neighboring areas.

Staff from the Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment’s Water Quality Laboratory were in attendance, in addition to staff from the Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center (MASSTC). Both MASSTC and the Water Quality Laboratory perform vital work on Cape Cod, protecting our water bodies, promoting public health, and solving important water quality challenges that impact our region.
