DATA CENTRES we play in society ,” she stresses . “ As with any industry . I think it ’ s important that we are putting people first , that we are enabling those societal benefits and that we ’ re investing in the future of the digital economy .”
For example , in Milan , STACK partners and engages with a variety of schools to incorporate data centre knowledge into curriculums to plug the growing skills gap and open opportunities for the workforce of the future . Internships and apprenticeships are also on offer , which – along with signing legislation with the city of Milan on education – further formalises STACK ’ s commitment to technical education and local job creation . That continues into STACK ’ s workforce , where DE & I is being pushed across EMEA as well as globally .
