The construction skills gap remains one of the most pressing issues in the data center industry, second only to power availability. Ensuring that people have the right skillset to build for success is crucial to meeting infrastructure demand, as is retaining that talent to prevent employee attrition. This episode will explore the practical steps that the industry can take to develop and protect its construction workforce including:
- How the data center industry can partner with external ecosystems for a pipeline of talent
- Retaining and upskilling the workforce during the whole employee lifecycle, from onboarding to retaining
- How data analytics can be harnessed to measure productivity and identify areas for training, and the importance of upfront forecasting to assess skills need
