The fire safety and security industry is facing a talent shortage, as many experienced professionals are retiring and fewer young people are entering the field.

This is a challenge, but also an opportunity, for the industry to attract and retain the best and brightest talent from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. 

Live webinar

Euralarm will organise a live webinar on attracting and retaining talent on Thursday, 18 April 2024. The webinar will start at 16:00 CET and run until 17:30 CET. 

Euralarm and its members believe that talent is the most valuable asset, and is committed to providing a rewarding and fulfilling career for their employees. 

Practices for attracting and retaining young people

In the webinar - ‘Attracting and retaining talent in the fire safety and security industry’, Euralarm presents some of the practices for attracting and retaining young people to enter the fire safety and security industry, such as: 

  • Apprenticeships offer a combination of on-the-job training and classroom learning, allowing apprentices to gain practical skills and qualifications, while earning a salary. It is a great way to attract and develop talent in the fire safety and security industry.
  • Programmes by national associations that support attracting new talent. 
  • Development programmes that contribute to attracting and retaining talent. 

Event organisers

This webinar will be organised to provide students and graduates with information about working in the fire safety and security industry and industry managers, HRM, and recruitment departments, as well as small and mid-sized companies with information on how to attract and retain their future workforce.

Registration is necessary to attend the live webinar.
