Northwest Public Works Institute 
   
The Northwest Public Works Institute (NWPWI) is a program of instruction for public works executives who would like to attain a higher degree of proficiency as leaders and managers. The Institute is jointly operated and sponsored by the Washington and Oregon Chapters of the American Public Works Association (APWA) and the Oregon Technology Transfer (T2) Center.

The program consists of three courses offered in Oregon and Washington throughout the year that, taken in their entirely, provide public works professionals with skills needed to advance in supervisory and management positions up to and including Public Works Director. While it is recommended that students take all three courses leading to a Certificate of Competency, the individual courses also satisfy the needs of public works professionals at different stages in their career.  Each of the three courses consists of 30 hours of instruction over a four-day period. 3.0 CEU’s are awarded for full attendance at each 4 day session.

Attendance at all three classes is recognized with a Certificate of Completion awarded by the Northwest Public Works Institute and the National APWA.
