GOOD NEWS: Mississippi's first data center training program has launched, and you don't need a degree to get in ⚡
Meridian Community College and Compass Datacenters built the 14-week program together. It's hands-on training on the same power, cooling and tech systems that run data centers.
No degree or prior experience needed to apply.
Full-tuition scholarships for the first 12 students.
Nine major employers lined up to hire graduates.
Program leaders say graduates could earn 30 to 50% above local median wages. We love a hometown career path.

Data centers are where the economic engine is going to be going forward. You're talking about massive amounts of jobs, economic activity and tax revenue growth."
Fox News visited our Red Oak campus. 900 jobs. 7,000+ nationwide. The full story: compassdatacenters.com/in-th…
Compass Datacenters CEO Chris Crosby is going after the culture of credentialism that he says has locked blue-collar workers out of high-paying careers for decades.
At the company's Red Oak, Texas campus — 10 data center buildings, 2.6 million square feet, 900 on-site workers — Crosby says the booming data center industry is proof that a four-year degree was never the only path to a real career.
Compass and its partners have created more than 7,000 permanent factory jobs nationwide producing data center components, according to Crosby — and they still can't hire fast enough.

Uptime starts with the full picture. If you're only monitoring parts of your data center, you're guessing. Every system. Every sensor. That's the only way.
