However, the quantity and quality of skilled labor across the full spectrum of design, construction, and facility management has proven to be a significant hindrance to the market’s desired speed and volume of data center deployment. This gap is amplified by the complexity of data centers’ labor and staffing requirements, ranging from skilled trade labor to data center operations to engineers and more. This panel will address the challenges of this labor shortage and how the industry is responding to close the gap.
