Security Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin Gill
Would you want a career in security now? What has Covid-19 been doing to the future talent pool?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A video and summary of this session is available here.
People in school may often consider a career in some area of policing, or the military, but rarely private security. Yet the breadth of opportunities is enormous, and probably greater than the more ‘attractive’ alternatives. But the private security sector largely operates under the radar: people don’t know about it. Moreover, private security companies are sometimes seen as poor relations to other suppliers, and corporate security professionals as less competent business people compared to fellow corporate professionals. Are these impressions still true? Has Covid-19 changed that? Or could it do so? In this webinar we will discuss:
To what extent has Covid-19 changed perceptions of security or in what ways could it do so?
What factors need to change to make people more aware of security careers?
What does the security sector need to do, in the wake of Covid-19 to make itself more attractive to the best talent?
