Data Centre Skills - Big Tent 2

This is the second of our Big Tent events, following our previous "Big Tent" in March 25, where we invited data centre operators, the data centre supply chain, government officials and educational providers to discuss the implementation of a data centre engineering apprenticeship and data centre engineering degree programme, this is where we'll be providing an update on our activities and showcasing our new ideas and to seek feedback from the sector, this will be both a fact-finding workshop, and a showcase event.

What do the operators and supply chain companies need?, what is available from educators?, how can this is progressed at government level?, data centres are after all now treated as "Critical National Infrastructure" and that has raised the bar for the people that work in the sector.
