The Development Authority of Walton County is excited to announce that Dycom Industries, a national leader in telecommunications and digital infrastructure services, will establish a state-of-the-art training facility in Walton County. This investment underscores Dycom’s commitment to workforce development and innovation in the telecommunications and digital infrastructure sectors.
The new campus will feature housing to accommodate trainees during immersive, multi-day programs, supported by 24/7 on-site staff to ensure safety and structure. The facility will include a mock town environment that provides realistic conditions for hands-on fiber deployment and utility work. In addition, a dedicated driver training course will prepare technicians for vehicle operation and safety certifications. Together, these elements create a comprehensive training experience designed to mirror real-world challenges and equip participants with practical skills.
“We are excited to announce the establishment of a flagship training center in Walton County. This investment underscores our commitment to the community, training tomorrow’s highly skilled workers, and delivering the highest quality service to our valued customers, by fostering the development of our expanding, highly competent, and skilled workforce,” said Kevin Wetherington, Dycom’s Chief Operating Officer.
Ben McDaniel, Vice President of Economic Development for the Development Authority of Walton County, stated, “Dycom’s training campus is more than a facility—it’s a game-changer for workforce readiness. By offering immersive, real-world training, Dycom is equipping technicians with the skills needed to build the critical infrastructure of tomorrow…right in our own backyard.”
Additional project updates will be provided as development progresses.
