Orion Talent and Switch to Present at DCAC: Veterans are Solution to Data Center Talent Gap
Summary
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orion Talent Senior Vice President of Strategic Programs David Coe and Switch Chief Information Officer Missy Young will co-present at Data Center Austin Conference (DCAC) on the topic of hiring veterans to source the data center industry. Young says developing a military hiring strategy is a competitive advantage in ensuring companies have the talent they need to support their data center business. Young shared, “Hiring the highly honed skill set of the men and women who have served our country in the military has been a cornerstone of Switch’s 100% uptime business success.” “At each of our PRIME campus locations Switch has successfully recruited and retained mission critical team members with strong military experience,” Young continued. Once he transitioned to the civilian workforce, Offel worked in the medical devices industry before entering the field of data centers. "Military veterans whove had the experience of shouldering enormous responsibility in extremely stressful, high stakes environments — where mission-critical is commonly a matter of mortality — are pressure-tested to embark on successful data center industry careers," said Offel.
