This is what workforce investment looks like.

Google’s Missouri expansion is expected to create thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of long-term operational careers. Beyond the project itself, every direct data center job supports nearly nine additional local jobs across the skilled trades and construction industry.

Investment in the Laborers and Contractors Training Center in High Hill will help train more than 2,300 construction laborers, including 1,500 apprentices, over the next two years.

Union apprenticeship programs continue to create pathways to family-sustaining careers while building the future of Missouri infrastructure.
