Meta is investing $115 million in America's Workforce Academy to train data center technicians for its AI infrastructure buildout, offering cost-free training with guaranteed job offers for graduates. The program is part of Meta's broader $600 billion U.S. infrastructure and jobs pledge over the next three years.
Meta is investing $115 million to launch America's Workforce Academy, a cost-free training program aimed at data center technician roles. The initiative is designed to support the company's rapid AI infrastructure buildout across new and existing data centers.
The program will deliver generalist technician training and culminate in guaranteed full-time job offers with contractors working on Meta's data center projects. The company has not disclosed the total number of positions or participating firms.
The $115 million commitment represents a fraction of Meta’s $600 billion U.S. infrastructure and job investment pledge for the next three years. Ongoing data center projects are expected to generate thousands of construction roles and a smaller set of permanent technical positions post-completion.
