The contractor aims to address labor shortages by training unskilled workers for high-paying data center roles starting mid-2027.
Dycom Industries is constructing a 49-acre training facility in Monroe, Georgia, to prepare unskilled workers for $62K data center jobs. The site, set to open mid-2027, simulates real-world conditions to develop trade skills from scratch.
The initiative follows Dycom’s 2025 acquisition of Power Solutions, which expanded its skilled labor capacity. Demand for data center workers has surged amid AI-driven growth, straining smaller contractors competing for talent.
Dycom offers new hires two weeks of paid vacation upfront, targeting younger workers with debt-free, high-paying opportunities in the trades sector.
