Skills for Security makes preparations for National Apprenticeship Show

The National Apprenticeship Show takes place during National Apprenticeship Week 2025 and provides a unique opportunity to highlight the transformative role apprenticeships play in equipping young adults with the skills they need in order to forge successful careers.

By participating in this event, Skills for Security aims to shine a spotlight on the security and fire sectors, both of which are integral to public safety, yet are often underrepresented in career-focused conversations.

Rewarding careers 

David Scott, managing director of Skills for Security (and our guest on Episode 33 of the Security Matters Podcast) commented: “We’re looking forward to the National Apprenticeship Show. This event is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the many rewarding careers available in the security and fire sectors, while also connecting with young people eager to take their first steps into these industries. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of talent and highlight the vital role apprenticeships play in building a skilled and diverse workforce for the future.”

The National Apprenticeship Show allows Skills for Security to engage directly with potential apprentices, their families and educators. Attendees will learn about the breadth of career paths available, ranging from hands-on installation roles all the way through to technical support and management positions.

With live apprenticeship vacancies being advertised, attending individuals can explore immediate opportunities to join a dynamic and growing industry. Skills for Security will provide in-depth information on the latest industry developments and technologies.

From advancements in smart security systems and the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to innovations in fire prevention, visitors will gain detailed insights into how the security and fire domains continue to evolve and the exciting career potential they offer.

Key conversations

David Scott concluded: “We’re looking forward to having many conversations and supporting young people to discover apprenticeship opportunities in the security and fire sectors. We hope it will encourage those who attend to see how they can build meaningful and successful careers in these essential sectors.”
