With many challenges facing the sector right now, in particular an estimated shortfall of around 30,000 engineers, the skills crisis is having a long-term effect on the entire fire and security industry supply chain. As the largest provider of fire and security apprenticeships in the UK, Skills for Security has swung into action with its initiative to encourage brands to invest in the next generation of talent. Ajax Systems is the latest of these businesses to offer their support and become a Partner. The newest Ajax technologies will be rolled out across the Skills for Security training centres offering a new service to apprentices and the opportunity to upskill on the latest products and solutions.
David Scott, Managing Director of Skills for Security, commented: “Skills for Security want to work with those at the forefront of technology and deliver quality products, which will give us the best opportunity to attract the best up-and-coming talent into the sector. Ajax Systems ticks all these boxes, and we are excited to have them as our latest partner.”
Sam Griffiths, Ajax Systems Technical Director in the UK, said: “Having the technology from Ajax within the Skills for Security centres will allow us to deliver a new service to our apprentices, where we can upskill them on the latest products and technology within the sector whilst raising brand awareness across the UK of the products offered by Ajax. It’s a real opportunity for engineers to become highly skilled professionals who’ll drive the whole security market in the UK. And we’re excited to support this passion.”
