When it comes to addressing the talent crisis in the security industry, the faces of the future will need to be much more diverse than those of the past.
It would be hard to find a topic more pressing across the entire security industry than the current workforce shortage. From manufacturers to security integrators, the issue of finding and keeping great employees is among the top concerns of nearly everyone.
The plea is the same for every skilled trade industry: “We need qualified workers.” And it’s been going on for a while. It’s not just in the security industry; this is true for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and construction workers.
The NSCA Education Foundation announced the $100K NSCA Ignite Challenge, sponsored by Shure Incorporated and an anonymous integrator donor. These two organizations have agreed to donate funds raised by other industry manufacturers and integrators. Shure will match manufacturer donations up to $25,000; the anonymous integrator will match funds raised by other integrators up to $25,000.
