Today we're announcing LevelUp: a free, four-week training program that takes people with no prior experience and prepares them to work as fiber technicians on data center construction sites across the US.
We built this program with CBRE because the fiber technician field, and the broader construction industry, is facing a nationwide shortage at a time when data center demand is higher than ever.
How it works:
🔧 Classroom instruction, hands-on labs + team activities covering transferable technical skills
🎓 Graduates have the opportunity to work at Meta's US construction sites through our contractor network
🤝 Open to everyone from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals
Since 2010, Meta's data center projects have supported 30,000+ skilled trade jobs during construction + 5,000+ permanent operational roles. LevelUp is about building the pipeline to keep that going.

2️⃣ Net-new outbound calls
These are calls that are not ROI positive to have a human do - they may be check/verif calls, or relationship-building calls where near-term results aren't measurable.
But with an AI agent doing thousands at once, it make sense!

* People ask LLMs to write code
* LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist
* Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads
* People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves
