The skills body Skills for Security is to partner with Kings Secure Technologies to deliver apprenticeships. From 2020, Skills for Security will manage, develop and deliver apprenticeship training using Kings Secure Technologies’ training facility at their head offices in Bradford, with Kings apprentices being the first to learn from the new scheme. The location of the centre also offers up the opportunity to allow apprenticeship training to be more accessible in the North East and Yorkshire region, they add.
Kelly Fisher, Chief Human Resources Officer at Kings said: “It has always been a priority for Kings to be at the leading best practice in the fire and security industry. The Kings Training Academy, delivered by Skills for Security, will help to formalise the training structure we already have in place and give our apprentices a clear career path and route to becoming fully trained, more confident and providing long term prospects in the industry.”
And David Scott, Managing Director, Skills for Security, pictured, said: “Giving apprentices the necessary skills to begin their careers is shaping the future of our Industry. Time and time again we compare the skills shortage with the rate of Industry growth, and it is evident we need more engineers. I am thrilled to be working with Kings Training Academy, bringing more apprentices to the North East and Yorkshire region combining our skilled tutors with their modern and high-tech facilities.”
