Mississippi Trains Workers for Data Centers

Mississippi’s tech boom is hitting a hiring wall—until now. A bold new partnership between Holmes Community College, the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District, and Amazon is launching a four-week intensive training program to turn eager learners into certified Data Center Operators. No prior experience or degree needed—participants earn a $10/hour stipend while mastering high-demand skills that could lead to $60K+ annual salaries. With the state needing 10,000 workers to support its growing data center infrastructure and Amazon hiring 30 operators per facility, this program is a game-changer. The first class of 18 graduates is set to be interviewed by Amazon this Friday, with local contractors also on hand for a job fair—proof Mississippi is building its future, one data center at a time.
