Grief can come from all kinds of change—loss, transitions, shifting roles, or missing how things used to be.

Wisconsin’s data center boom is creating long-term, high-skill opportunities for union carpenters while delivering strong community benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, and steady local economic impact.

“Data centers are so big and they need such a workforce that it gives us the opportunity to go out and recruit,” EST Patrick Nilsen said in a recent interview with Wisconsin Public Radio. “The apprentices go through our apprenticeship program, but they also get on-the-job hours that they need.”

From Microsoft’s project in Racine to the proposed QTS data center in DeForest, union carpenters are ready for the next era of construction. Read more about it here: https://www.wpr.org/news/wisconsin-construction-labor-leaders-say-data-centers-will-grow-long-term-jobs
