Vertiv, a provider of critical digital infrastructure, has partnered with the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences (TVZ) to launch a Data Center Design programme within its Electrical Engineering Department. The course is designed to provide participants with skills to support Europe’s digital infrastructure and respond to the growing demand for trained professionals in the sector.
The programme provides an in-depth overview of data centre design and optimisation, with a focus on power systems. Participants engage in practical exercises, work with industry-standard software tools, and solve real-world engineering problems to gain the knowledge needed to design, implement, and maintain systems that meet recognised standards for energy efficiency and safety.
Led by Associate Professor Dr. Stjepan Tvorić, the programme is aligned with current industry standards and technologies. Through the collaboration with Vertiv, students have access to professionals in electrical engineering and data centre infrastructure who provide insights from real-world projects. The programme is aimed at electrical engineers seeking to advance their skills, as well as professionals from related technical fields.
Dr. Tvorić said, “Collaborating with Vertiv means we are engaged in discussions about current engineering challenges, using real project examples and case studies, and implementing tools and methods required by today's industry."
Participants gain hands-on experience with CAD tools, designing power systems and practising installation and maintenance techniques. The programme is fully funded through the Croatian Employment Service, making it accessible to eligible candidates pursuing careers in high-demand roles.
Vedran Brzić, Vice President for Infrastructure Solutions at Vertiv, noted that the programme provides practical, career-focused experience. “Vertiv and the Zagreb University of Applied Sciences have built a strong long-term partnership through various joint projects," he said. The initiative addresses the need for trained data centre professionals across industries, helping students acquire skills aligned with market demand.
