"Meta said the free four-week program is set to begin this summer and equip trainees with the skills to work in these new data centers, as well as the construction industry more broadly."
"Meta is among the 14 largest data center operators that are on track to collectively spend more than $750 billion in 2026, with construction underway at more than 800 sites."
Meta is initiating a four-week training program in partnership with CBRE to develop fiber technicians, addressing the shortage of skilled construction workers for AI data centers. The program aims to equip trainees with necessary skills for the construction industry and data centers. Meta operates 27 data centers in the US, employing over 30,000 workers during construction and 5,000 ongoing roles. The company is part of a larger trend, with major data center operators expected to invest over $750 billion by 2026, highlighting the growing demand for infrastructure in the AI sector.
