170 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3 As examples, Collins describes two ground- breaking academies: “The Greater Waco Advanced Health Care Academy (GWAHCA) offered by the Chamber, the local health care community, and Waco Area School Districts. It helps students in grades 10 to 12 enter the medical profession. The other is the Greater Waco Advanced Manufacturing Academy (GWAMA), a collaboration between the Chamber, the Waco Business League, TSTC, and local manufacturing businesses. It’s focused on technical career opportunities for those in grades 10 to 12. These two programs really allow us to help kids build strong career paths within key industries, which in turn boosts the local marketplace.” Insituform Pipe Lining Technologies is one manufacturing business that’s been essential in improving Robinson’s water and wastewater infrastructure. The first wastewater system was installed in the late 1950s using clay lines. For additional information please visit: www.aegion.com/insituform Or give us a call: 1-800-234-2992
