The British Security Industry Association (BSIA), its training subsidiary Skills for Security, and members SecuriGroup have launched the UK’s first apprenticeship for front-line security personnel. They aim to tackle the outdated image of security and recruit younger people to the industry.
The UK is facing an acute shortage of security officers, increased demand for security services, an aging workforce, Brexit, and fall-out from the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning around 62,000 new security officers are needed to meet demand and ensure public safety.
