PA's community colleges key as NEPA becoming target zone for data centers
Jun. 14—John Yudichak, President of Luzerne County Community College, said this week that for the past decade, Pennsylvania lost economic ground to states like Virginia. He said Virginia used creative economic incentives that built the largest data center market in the world that sustains 74,000 jobs and contributes $9.1 billion to the GDP of that state's economy. "It is not lost on me that Luzerne County, which played a central role in the industrial revolution with the production of coal, now stands to be a prominent player in the technological revolution as the epicenter of hyper-scale data center development that will fuel American dominance in artificial intelligence technologies," Yudichak said. On Monday, June 9, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced that Amazon is planning to invest $20 billion to establish multiple high-tech cloud computing and artificial intelligence innovation campuses across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The governor said Amazon's investment will create at least 1,250 high-paying, high-tech jobs. The first communities identified as sites for these future campuses are Salem Township, Luzerne County, and Falls Township, Bucks County. Several additional Pennsylvania communities are under consideration for data center development. NEPA becomes target zone for data centers John Augustine, President/CEO at Penn's Northeast, said the close proximity of natural gas through the Marcellus Shale and the reliable and robust infrastructure of our utilities make our region one of the top spots in the United States. Since Monday's announcement by the governor, Augustine said he has received a half dozen calls from companies interested in locating data centers in NEPA. "This is in addition, to the four that we are working with in Lackawanna County, three more in Luzerne County and another in Schuylkill County," Augustine said. Augustine said for every $26 dollars of tax revenue that a data center generates, they spend a $1 on servicing the center. He said each campus is providing millions of dollars in local and state revenue along with thousands of construction jobs and hundreds of high-tech, high-paying positions. "The hyper-scale facility in Salem Township alone is a $10 billion dollar investment," Augustine said. "Besides ongoing manufacturing, we are seeing the third wave of industrial development in Northeastern PA — coal, warehousing/distribution facilities and now data centers. Our region is poised to be a leader in the race for artificial intelligence infrastructure. This is a generational opportunity to provide huge tax revenue and high paying jobs for our residents." Community colleges performing critical role Bucks County Community College President & CEO Dr. Patrick Jones spoke at the Amazon announcement, stressing a vision as more hyper-scale data centers are planned. "Through a unique, consortium approach, we will be able to better focus on the needs of data centers and help ensure students are prepared with the knowledge and skills required for this unique sector," Jones said. "We will collaborate to determine industry needs and share expertise and resources so that no matter where someone lives, one of our colleges will be able to help them attain the skills they need for success in this growing industry." Under the lead of the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges (PACCC), Luzerne County Community College, Lehigh Carbon Community College, Northampton Community College and Bucks County Community College are joining forces to partner on a Technology and Trades Workforce Consortium in an expanded Northeast Region of Pennsylvania. The PACCC collaboration will bring together these four community colleges to address workforce needs during the construction of hyper-scale data centers and the jobs needed once they are built. As more hyper-scale data centers are constructed, other community colleges across the Commonwealth will join to expand the ADVANCEPA Technology & Trade Workforce Consortium. Technology and Trades Workforce Consortium Yudichak said there is no sector of higher education better equipped to adeptly respond to the changing workforce development demands of the technological revolution that is driving historic economic growth than Pennsylvania's community colleges. He said the three pillars planned by the Technology and Trades Workforce Consortium are: Career & Technology Academy An innovative regional partnership formed by community colleges and career and technical center high schools to create new pathways for career and technical center students to earn post-secondary credentials in technology and the skilled construction trades. The goal of a Career & Technology Academy is to serve under-served student populations in career and technical center high schools to build a consistent workforce pipeline of entry level technicians and skilled trade workers. MicroCredential Academy The MicroCredential Academy will rapidly develop post-secondary credential programming that makes upskilling career credentials for Pennsylvania workers efficient, cost-effective, and accessible. The goal of the MicroCredential Academy is to serve Pennsylvania workers where they live and work by identifying high demand industry clusters and providing online, mobile, and campus based microcrendential programming that empowers workers to advance to a high wage, high demand career. Construction & Trade Pre-Apprenticeship Academy The Construction & Trade Pre-Apprenticeship Academy will forge a strategic partnership the Pennsylvania Building and Construction Trade Unions is to build a pre-apprenticeship pipeline of students who will learn from a foundational curriculum that will prepare them to enter union registered apprenticeship programs and secure employment in the skilled building and construction trade industry. The goal of the Construction & Trade PreApprenticeship Academy is to promote, educate, and drive interest in students pursuing union apprenticeship programs to meet the growing demand for skilled trade workers in the Pennsylvania economy. Yudichak said: —Pennsylvania's 15 community colleges collectively serve nearly 240,000 students annually through academic programing and workforce development training programs that focus on high demand and high wage jobs. —Pennsylvania community colleges fuel regional economic growth and serve as the central workforce development pipeline in the Commonwealth with 90% of community college graduates going on to live and work in Pennsylvania after graduation. —Pennsylvania's community colleges partner with over 2,000 industries in the Commonwealth to align their academic and workforce development programing with a rapidly changing economy driven by technological innovation. The Technology and Trades Workforce Consortium will strategically coordinate resources, avoid duplicative investments in equipment, and foster innovative college and industry collaborations that will streamline a fragmented workforce development system to deliver the highest quality workforce in Pennsylvania history, Yudichak said. The Consortium will work with the State Board of Higher Education, federal and state agencies, Career and Technical Centers, high schools, Pennsylvania Construction & Trade Unions, and employers to ensure that curricula remain current and aligned with workforce needs to establish clear educational and career pathways for students, Yudichak said. As the former state senator and chairman of the Pennsylvania State Senate Community, Economic and Recreational Development Committee, Yudichak said he worked on the passage of Act 25 of 2021 that established data center tax exemption to serve as a economic incentive to attract data center development to Pennsylvania. He said as president of LCCC, he is honored to be working with the Pennsylvania State Board of Higher Education, the Shapiro Administration's Department of Community & Economic Development, and the Pennsylvania Commission on Community Colleges to establish a historic workforce development partnership through the new Technology & Trades Workforce Consortium. "This will be the central workforce development pipeline to supply thousands of new technology and skilled trade workers to meet the demand of Pennsylvania's 21st century economy," Yudichak said.

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks That Could Dominate the Rest of 2025
Advanced Micro Devices has reported three consecutive quarters of accelerating revenue growth, and the stock is starting to respond. Amazon has a monster opportunity in robotics that isn't reflected in its current valuation. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › As long-term investors, it's most important to focus on where a company will be in 10 years and invest accordingly. But it's also beneficial to find growth stocks benefiting from catalysts that could send their shares higher in the near term. After falling earlier this year, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) are starting to see their share prices rise. AMD is a leader in supplying artificial intelligence (AI) chips to data centers, while Amazon is benefiting enormously from its increasing use of robotics in its fulfillment centers. Here's what's driving these stocks higher and why they have room to run. Shares of AMD have soared 61% since hitting a 52-week low of $76.48 in April. The company reported its third consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth as it prepares to launch new versions of its MI300 series of graphics processing units (GPUs) for data centers. AMD is building momentum. It recently announced an agreement with Saudi Arabia's new AI enterprise HUMAIN to build cost-efficient computing systems using AMD chips to power advanced AI workloads for enterprises, start-ups, and governments. This news comes as AMD is set to launch its MI350 GPU. Its first data center GPU debuted in 2023: the MI300 chip, which raked in $5 billion of revenue last year. The MI350 promises 35 times more throughput and performance than the MI300x, and management said on the first-quarter earnings call that customer interest is "very strong." Oracle is already in line to deploy a large-scale cluster powered by MI355x accelerators for AI workloads. AMD reported a 36% year-over-year increase in revenue in the first quarter, accelerating from a 24% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024. The momentum is catching investors' attention heading into the company's upcoming Advancing AI event, where analysts are expecting it to announce new design wins and potentially new customers for its GPUs. During the first-quarter earnings call, management noted positive customer feedback and plans for broader deployments for its MI400 chip, which is being launched in 2026. Even with the risk that chip export controls might pressure revenue, CEO Lisa Su doesn't see China chip restrictions changing AMD's long-term addressable market, which is estimated at $500 billion. AMD is on track to finish 2025 on a high note. The consensus analyst estimate has earnings per share growing 20% in 2025 before surging 44% in 2026, according to Yahoo! Finance. Given this expectation, the stock's forward price-to-earnings multiple of 31 could support more gains in the near term. Shares of Amazon have rebounded 42% from their 52-week low of $151.76. With analyst estimates calling for record earnings in 2025 and 2026, the stock could be ready to hit new highs in the second half of the year. The company reported a 62% year-over-year increase in earnings in the first quarter. Its growing use of robotics across its fulfillment network is starting to gain attention on Wall Street that could send its stock higher in the second half of 2025. There's no retailer more invested in robotics than Amazon. Since it acquired robotics company Kiva Systems in 2012, Amazon has continued to lean into this technology to improve delivery speeds and efficiency. It has the largest fleet of industrial robots, with over 750,000 across its fulfillment network. This technology is getting very sophisticated, and it uses different types of robots for various tasks. For example, its Vulcan robot knows how much force to apply to an object to avoid damaging it. Amazon says it has several initiatives underway to improve its cost structure. It is reportedly testing the use of humanoid robots for carrying packages from the delivery van to a customer's door. This could be very beneficial to margins in the long run, since the last mile typically accounts for over half of total shipping costs. With AI and robotics getting more advanced every year, now's the time to buy Amazon stock. Robots are only going to get more capable in the coming years, which will increase the number of tasks they can handle in the company's fulfillment centers. This spells massive productivity gains and margin improvement that is not reflected in the stock's current valuation. The shares are trading at 35 times 2025 earnings estimates, which looks very reasonable considering the robust earnings growth over the past year and opportunities for higher margins over the long term. As Wall Street continues to pay attention to Amazon's opportunity in robotics, the stock could climb higher.
