Data Center Talent Scholarships Mexico

Training the professionals of the future
DCD>Academy and MEXDC have created the “Data Center Talent Scholarship” to address the critical need for qualified professionals in the Data Center sector.
Mexico is one of the countries leading the present and future of the Data Center industry, being the second most competitive economy in Latin America and one of the fifteen largest in the world. The country has the proper infrastructure to become an attractive territory for companies in the sector, and it is essential to have specialized and trained human talent to lay the foundation and consolidate the growth of a sector that offers great stability, no unemployment, and salaries above the average.
Mexico has good connectivity that allows for minimal latency, but it needs more specialized labor, competitive costs for both energy and renewable sources, a transparent, simple, and stable regulatory framework, as well as the availability of more industrial land with access to energy.
With the “Data Center Talent Scholarship,” DCD>Academy and MEXDC aim to prepare students in their final year of studies or recent graduates to succeed in the powerful and growing Data Center industry.
