The Be Pro Be Proud 10th Anniversary Tour rolled into Bowling Green State University for Ohio Tech Day, where students explored technical professions and heard directly from young technicians about their career paths.

Those careers are being built right here in Ohio. We've invested $2.3B+ across our Bowling Green and New Albany Data Centers, supporting 2,200+ skilled trade workers at peak construction and 400+ operational roles, the same professions students got hands-on with this week.

Since 2023, our partnership with Be Pro Be Proud has helped introduce nearly 70,000 students to technical career opportunities, and we're proud to continue expanding that work with events like this.

🌟 Nearly 70,000 students since 2023. Now we're taking the next step.

Meta and Be Pro Be Proud launched Be Pro Be Proud Texas making it our third statewide chapter after Tennessee and New Mexico. Now, we are excited to kick off a joint 10-stop tour celebrating BPBP's 10th anniversary.

Backed by Meta's $500,000 investment, tour brings the Mobile Workshop across our data center communities in Alabama, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Students get hands-on access to 16+ high-demand technical careers, the same trades that build and operate our data centers.

We're proud to help even more students see what's possible.

Ps... Stop #1 is in the books — 9 more to go! For now, check out these photos from the TX kick-off!

For a whole decade, using hands-on simulators and Meta Quest headsets to bring technical careers to life, they've been showing students that a career in the skilled trades is something to be proud of, and we couldn't agree more. To mark the milestone, we’re teaming with BPBP for ten special events across our data center communities. Starting with the Be Pro Be Proud National Conference!

We were honored to be part of a conversation about how training, technology, and real career exposure come together to open doors for people in the communities we live and work in. We were happy to speak to a full house of 100+ workforce development and education leaders, employers, and policy makers from 15+ states! 🔧⚡🏗️
