Facebook’s Henrico Data Center is serving as a hub for on-the-job construction career training.
The job training program, called “Hardhat in Hand,” is sponsored by Facebook and creates a partnership with general contractor, DPR Construction, at the site. It offers hands-on training for individuals to create a diverse pipeline of workers that is needed for projects like the expansion of the data center, as well as other projects in the Henrico and Greater Richmond area.
The program has three primary objectives:
• to expand the local skilled trades talent pipeline;
• to increase diversity in the construction industry;
• and to provide a path to reliable, well-paid job opportunities.
