“We need more confident, capable engineers coming through and that starts with proper training and real exposure to the technologies they’ll be installing every day.
“Through our continued partnership with Skills for Security, we’re supporting apprentices at the start of their careers and helping build a stronger future for our sector,” Drayton added.
Apprentice Charles Hill recently experienced this first-hand following a Paxton training session. He said: “Paxton came into the centre last week and delivered training on Net2, Entry, Paxton10 and PaxLock.
“We covered how to install each system, what they’re used for and how to programme them correctly.
“It was really interesting and easy to follow, especially getting hands-on with the equipment.”
Hill continued: “I learned a lot from the session and feel much more confident working with the systems now. I’d definitely recommend the training to any apprentice or Paxton installer.”
Mollie Evans, Marketing & Sponsorship Manager at Skills for Security added: “We’re delighted that our platinum sponsors Paxton, have renewed their partnership with us for another year.
“This ongoing partnership continues to make a huge impact. Their visits to our training centres give apprentices valuable, hands-on insight and their generous kit donations allow learners to build confidence using real-world equipment.
“Alongside this, Paxton’s support at events helps spark interest from future talent and showcase the opportunities within the sector,” Evans concluded.
