As demand for data center construction continues to outpace available talent, the industry needs longer-term workforce strategies that go beyond project-by-project hiring. This workshop explores how hyperscalers, colocators, neocloud providers GCs and trade partners can build sustainable talent pipelines for future craft, technical and EHS roles.

• Building industry-wide talent pathways through apprenticeships, trade partnerships and training providers to attract more workers into data center construction
• Developing future EHS leaders through mentoring, structured progression and mission critical project exposure to strengthen leadership readiness
• Strengthening collaboration between hyperscalers, colocators, GCs, trade partners and industry bodies to create scalable workforce pipelines for future project demand
• Improving retention strategies across craft, technical and EHS roles to reduce talent turnover, protect project knowledge and sustain capability across long-term delivery programs
