Over the last twenty years the data centre industry has radically changed. Today the data centre sits at the heart of all digital services and can therefore be regarded as a ‘critical industry’ that all citizens depend on for
their economic and social well-being
Due to the data centre industry's relatively short history, the expertise is largely held by people who have gained their knowledge "on the job" therefore a major objective of the DIAA is to work very closely with academia and training organisations ensuring the industry has the skills to meet the challenges of the future
- Developing ‘grassroots’ programmes connecting young people to the industry
- Working with all stakeholders to build data centre skills, roadmaps and frameworks
- Promoting the value of data centre training and encouraging ‘critical thinking’
