Meta's $115M question for Houston: Ready to build?

Meta Platforms Inc. has launched a $115 million pilot training program called America's Workforce Academy, aimed at preparing data center construction technicians. Houston is among four U.S. cities selected for the five-week program, which guarantees a job offer from contractors working on Meta projects.
