Fike’s involvement will reportedly bring valuable industry insight, technical expertise and access to the latest technology.

Fike’s reputation for delivering high-performance life safety systems is said to make them an ideal partner to support Skills for Security’s goal of delivering future-ready training that reflects real-world demands.

As a sponsor, Fike will reportedly contribute to curriculum development, provide access to real-world case studies and technologies and engage with learners through guest sessions and industry visits.

The collaboration, according to the companies, is designed to offer apprentices deeper insight into the systems and standards shaping today’s safety-critical environments.

“Safety starts with education”

Colin Smith, Fire Manager Europe, Fike commented: “At Fike, we believe safety starts with education.

“Partnering with Skills for Security is a meaningful way for us to help build a stronger, more knowledgeable workforce for the future.

“We’re proud to support the next generation of professionals who will be responsible for using life safety technology to protect lives and assets.”
