Daren Wood, BSIA Manager responsible for CTP liaison, comments: "The private security industry offers a wealth of opportunity for service leavers. With varied careers in security guarding, electronic security solutions, security consultancy and close protection, service leavers can use many of the transferable skills they have gained with the Armed Forces in their new career."
"CTP qualified ex-service personnel are also an excellent resource for security companies looking to recruit suitably skilled new employees. Many BSIA members have already taken advantage of the Association's relationship with CTP, leading to the recruitment of skilled individuals that have become real assets to their business."
Liz Taylor, the Career Transition Partnership's Director of Training, says: "The training received whilst serving in the Armed Forces, combined with the excellent personal qualities these men and women have, provides personnel ideally suited to the security industry. Service leavers attending the Resettlement Training Centre at Aldershot display a range of aptitude fitting them for both the practical Security Installation courses delivered by experienced in-house staff, as well as Managerial, Close Protection and Consultancy training which is delivered in conjunction with a carefully selected training provider who shares its wide ranging expertise and knowledge with the students. As the success stories show, both the security industry and the Service leaver benefit from our training."
