Bridging the skills gap in the data centre industry needs to happen in the classroom. That's why we're catalysing action - National Data Centre Day, STEM Learning UK, and AVK are partnering to bring businesses together with educators, putting data centres on the curriculum.

Key topics covered in this episode are:

The two biggest barriers facing the data centre industry- public perception and the skills shortage.
You don’t need to come from the data centre industry to build a career in it.
National Data Centre Day exists to bridge the disconnect between the public and the data centres powering everyday life.
Some of the biggest winners of the AI boom will be tradespeople — the electricians and engineers building the infrastructure.
