Inaugural Cohort — 2026

Water is the new oil.
Intelligence is the
new infrastructure.

The WAID Implementation Specialist (WIS) Certification is a 5-week intensive program training women in tech to deploy enterprise AI for water infrastructure.

This is not a bootcamp. This is a direct pathway to paid, real-world deployments.
