SIA & ESA Launch Foundation for Advancing Security Talent
The Security Industry Association (SIA) and the Electronic Security Association (ESA) have launched the Foundation for Advancing Security Talent (FAST), a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization designed to promote careers in the physical security technology and life safety industry. Created through a partnership of ESA and SIA, FAST will connect passionate, innovative professionals with new opportunities in electronic security and life safety.
”Whenever we talk to SIA members about their greatest challenges, they universally put recruiting talent into the security industry and workforce development at the top of the list,” said Pierre Trapanese, chairman of the SIA board of directors. “FAST will help our entire industry to be more competitive in what has become a war for talent among all tech sectors. We are excited to partner with ESA to address an issue that we know is just as critical to the future of the industry as the continued development of technology.”
