Skills on Demand: Building tomorrow’s security workforce
In the fifth instalment of the SJUK Leaders in Security Podcast, Security Journal UK Assistant Editor, Eve Goode, is joined by David Scott, Managing Director of Skills for Security – a UK fire and security training provider.
In this instalment, David explores the landscape of the security industry and how Skills for Security is encouraging more people to seek future careers focused on fire and security by providing them with efficient qualifications and training.
David's extensive knowledge on the skills shortage that the industry has been facing has allowed him to explain, in depth, how Skills for Security is trying to bridge that gap with its online application, 'Skills on Demand'. This initiative was developed to allow professionals to keep up-to-date with the latest industry developments and practices.
Throughout the podcast, Eve and David discuss how events play a crucial role in seeking out new talent, for both the industry as well as for the benefit of fire and security companies. David also gives his predictions on what he considers to be the biggest opportunities and challenges the industry will face in the years ahead.
