The Security Industry Association (SIA) announced it has obtained approval from the U.S. Department of Labor for its national program standards establishing a new apprenticeship initiative for security technicians and installers.
The 12-month program — created to help address the security industry’s workforce challenges, diversify the talent pipeline and foster career development opportunities within the industry — is designed to develop basic networking, IT and cybersecurity competence among systems installers through workplace learning and one-to-one mentoring.
