Detect Apprenticeship Scheme Boosts Youth Employment

Posted: Friday, March 02, 2012

Detect are committed to the ongoing training and development of our staff at all levels. We are proud of the highly skilled engineers we already have as employees but we also believe in the value of ongoing training.

We are currently supporting the apprenticeship scheme through Chichester College so we can help train the next generation of engineers and other staff, to benefit our clients and provide them with the high quality service they expect from Detect at all times. Apprentices gain practical skills in a real workplace environment to compliment their more formal learning, which for our apprentices at Detect means that they learn first hand about fire protection and security systems.
