The Rise In Data Centers - The Future is Here

This episode of HR Gamechangers discusses the rapid growth of data centers, particularly with demanding technologies like AI and liquid cooling, faces a significant challenge: a talent shortage in specialized fields like electrical engineering, construction, and operations. To overcome this, the industry is focusing on building pipelines through apprenticeships, community college programs, and veteran outreach, as well as upskilling existing staff in new areas like liquid cooling and sustainable practices. Prioritizing workforce well-being is also becoming crucial for retaining skilled personnel, while AI-driven planning and remote expertise tools are being adopted to optimize staffing and operations. It highlights that talent strategy must now be considered a core design element for data center projects, as important as infrastructure itself. EnJOY!
