Young blood
On 3 April Electrical Review will be holding its second PowerOn briefing for the data centre market, an area that is looking at enormous growth.
One topic raised at the last event was the shortage of young people entering the data centre sector or even being aware of the opportunities the area offers.
While organisations like the Data Centre Alliance (DCA) are attempting to tackle the problem with the launch of a boot camp, it is vital universities and schools raise the profile of a career in the data centre, be that in IT, business development or even wiring.
The subject is one close to the heart of Adelle Desouza business marketing executive at Enlogic, a company that specialises in power for the data centre.
