Dycom Industries to build workforce training center in Georgia

Dycom Industries Inc. (NYSE: DY) announced plans to construct a 49-acre workforce training facility in Monroe, Georgia, with an expected opening in mid-2027. The telecommunications contractor will break ground in early April on the project, which has support from the Development Authority of Walton County.

The facility will feature a simulated town environment for hands-on fiber deployment training and a mock mission-critical facility for electrical systems instruction. The campus will include on-site housing for multi-day training programs, specialized driver training courses, and various real-world environments designed to replicate field conditions.

"The complexity of today's digital infrastructure favors a scaled, high-quality workforce, and this flagship center is a major step in staying ahead of that demand," said Dan Peyovich, President and CEO of Dycom.

The West Palm Beach, Florida-based company operates 38 companies across all 50 states and employs nearly 20,000 workers. Dycom provides specialty contracting services including program management, engineering, aerial and underground construction, and maintenance services for telecommunications providers. The company also offers electrical contracting for data centers and underground facility locating services.

The new Georgia facility is designed to complement Dycom's existing network of regional and field training centers nationwide. The company stated the center will serve as a centralized hub for technical instruction to address growing infrastructure demand for skilled labor in the telecommunications and digital infrastructure sectors.
