DataBank highlights how hands-on technical education and workforce development programs help prepare students for future careers in the data center industry.
The future of the data center industry depends on skilled, motivated people — and that talent pipeline often starts earlier than many realize. In this video, DataBank highlights how students are gaining hands-on experience through career and technical education programs that introduce them to the electrical, mechanical, and operational skills needed in modern data centers.
The video takes viewers inside a training environment where high school students are learning practical skills in a simulated data center setting, then connects that classroom experience to the real-world infrastructure supporting DataBank’s Ashburn, Virginia facility. This story highlights the importance of workforce development, technical education, and industry partnerships in preparing the next generation of data center professionals.
Students gain exposure to areas such as:
• Electrical systems
• Data center infrastructure
• Hands-on technical training
• Critical facility operations
• Career and technical education
• Real-world career pathways
As demand for digital infrastructure continues to grow, programs like these help students see how technical skills can lead to meaningful careers in the data center industry.

Electricity bills are rising, and data centers often get the blame. Here’s what’s actually driving costs, and why data center growth doesn't always mean higher rates.
For the third consecutive year, DataBank Cares’ Kindness Kit program brought employees together across Houston, Dallas, Salt Lake City, and Denver to assemble and donate care packages to local organizations. This year’s effort topped 852 kits, 216 volunteer hours, and nearly $2,500 in donated goods and financial support.
When construction on our Atlanta data center campus turned up a rare threatened wildflower, DataBank chose to act, sparking an environmental partnership that continues to grow today.
