To date, X-Cel Conservation Corps has placed 35 graduates into full-time positions as wastewater operator positions with fourteen different companies.

Currently X-Cel’s primary employer partners are Woodard & Curran and Veolia. Crew members who complete phase one with X-Cel Conservation Corps, apply to and interview with our employer partners, and then are placed into paid internships with the companies. Woodard & Curran and Veolia operate multiple wastewater treatment facilities in the Greater Boston area and interns are able to gain varied work experience in wastewater treatment at the different facilities. Interns are also encouraged to continue studying for higher level wastewater treatment license exams while participating in their paid internships.

We are seeking additional employer partners. There is currently funding available to reimburse employers for the wages for the paid internships.
