Meta平台公司将为有意入职其数据中心的人员提供免费培训，并保证完成五周课程的学员能够获得一份技术行业工作。
这家科技巨头周一宣布，将为该项目投入1.15亿美元资金，项目面向合格退伍军人、职业转型者以及其他希望进入技术行业的人群开放。这项被命名为“美国劳动力学院”的计划，将首先在印第安纳州、路易斯安那州、俄亥俄州和德克萨斯州启动。
Meta指出，美国全国范围内都存在光纤技术员、焊工、水管工、电工以及其他数据中心建设所需技术工种的人才短缺问题。
Meta在一份声明中表示：“每一位毕业生都将获得经过认证的行业标准资质证书，覆盖电气作业、机械系统和管道工程等高需求领域。”
科技公司正竞相建设数据中心以支撑人工智能的发展。据阿波罗全球管理公司的数据，美国目前约有4000座数据中心，另有约3000座已公布规划或正在建设中。
由Meta成立、旨在维护科技行业利益的政策倡导组织美国边缘项目2025年的一份报告显示，全美所有数据中心预计将创造470万个临时建筑岗位。该组织预计，数据中心将创造约70万个永久性运营管理岗位。
数据中心的快速建设引发了部分社区的公众反对，他们认为数据中心会加剧当地电网负荷压力，引发环境担忧，且无法带动当地经济发展。

Meta Platforms is offering free training for people to work in its data centers and guaranteeing them a job in a skilled trade after completing a five-week course.
The technology giant announced on Monday that it is committing $115 million to the program, which is open to qualified veterans, career changers and others who want to enter the skilled trades. The initiative, dubbed “America’s workforce academy,” will first launch in Indiana, Louisiana, Ohio and Texas.
Meta cited a nationwide shortage of fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians and other skilled tradespeople needed to build data centers.
“Every graduate will leave with a verified, industry-standard credential in high-demand fields such as electrical work, mechanical systems and plumbing,” Meta said in a statement.
Technology companies are racing to build data centers to power the development of artificial intelligence. The U.S. has roughly 4,000 existing data centers, while some 3,000 more have been announced or are under construction, according to Apollo Global Management.
All data centers together are expected to create 4.7 million temporary construction jobs in the U.S., according to a 2025 report from the American Edge Project, a policy advocacy group formed by Meta that promotes tech industry interests. The group expects data centers to create roughly 700,000 permanent jobs to operate and manage the facilities.
The rapid data center buildout has generated public opposition from some communities, which say it strains local power grids, raises environmental concerns and fails to boost local economies.
