Engineers of Tomorrow Apprentice Competition marks 20th anniversary with new fire category

27 September, 2018

“Our industry should attract capable and dedicated young people who want a career in a highly specialised, diverse industry and the apprenticeship is the main route for a full-life fire and security career.”

Richard Jenkins, CEO of NSI, commented: “For 20 years this competition has served to shine a light on the value of the apprenticeship programme. Technology continues moving at pace. Those embracing Engineers of Tomorrow in their businesses gain the benefit of well-trained technicians adding value for customers.

Increasing numbers of academies and colleges of further education are now delivering a new and more relevant curriculum so well qualified young engineers and apprentices better meet employers’ needs in the security industry. The Engineers of Tomorrow competition, reflecting the capabilities of apprentices, is an excellent platform for the industry to showcase its talent of the future.”

James Kelly, chief executive of The BSIA (British Security Industry Association), commented: “We must encourage businesses to recruit and train young talent to fill the engineering shortage. The Engineers of Tomorrow Competition provides an excellent platform to showcase to employers the benefits of apprenticeships. Additionally, it highlights the range of pathways and opportunities within security to a more diverse pool of young individuals seeking a rewarding career.

“The BSIA vigorously promote apprenticeships with our stakeholder partners and through our training arm Skills for Security. Funding options are available through the new Trailblazer Apprenticeship Scheme to help employers train apprentices. Taking on apprentices is a positive way to grow, upskill and reposition your business for the future. Apprentice installers are the future of this industry – we should do everything possible to help them uphold the highest standards and grow their skillsets.”
