How the digital infrastructure industry is meeting the workforce challenges of tomorrow
With the data center market showing no sign of slowing down, the demand for skills is higher than ever and yet the industry is still struggling with its workforce shortage. The sector must deploy new methods to attract talent in order to continue to meet the public's demand for data, and ensure that the workforce has sufficient incentive to stay once they do arrive.
On International Women's Day, this broadcast will explore how the industry can address its inherent diversity issue, what's preventing change and what organizations are doing so that a range of perspectives are brought to the table. Expert speakers will consider in what ways the skills needed to work in a data center are changing and how the sector is preparing their workforce for this. Additionally, how can skills & development training draw people with transferable skills into the industry to help reduce the gap between unfilled roles and potential talent?
