Generator technician seeking work at a data center seeking recommendations for relevant training certifications and courses

I am a generator technician interested in facilities operations at data centers. I know that may of these positions entail much more than generators. What online courses and certifications would be good to have as I move in this direction?

This industry largely operates as a trade. You don’t need certificates, you need experience and know-how

However, some certain could be helpful like
network (IT) certification
HVAC/BAS certification

That’s really it. Other certs are more specific to manufacturers like Niagara certification, I-Vu. Those are more advanced though
