Skills for Security Unveils New Website to Support Industry Growth and Close the Skills Gap

A post by Skills for Security.

As the fire and security sector faces rising demand and a growing skills shortage, Skills for Security has launched a brand-new website designed to make high-quality training more accessible.

The UK’s leading fire and security apprenticeship provider has rebuilt its online presence from the ground up as a direct response to learners and employer requirements: faster access to training, simpler course booking and up-to-date resources to navigate a changing industry.

With its interactive, mobile-responsive design and simplified navigation, the new website puts users first. Apprentices can easily explore training routes, view various programmes, and get support to begin or progress their careers.

Says Mollie Evans, Marketing & Sponsorship Manager at Skills for Security: “This isn’t just a new website – it’s part of a wider commitment to remove barriers and make skills development more inclusive, responsive, and relevant. Whether you’re an individual just starting out, a business looking to invest in talent, or a partner supporting training across the sector, we’ve created a platform that works harder for you.”

Employers can quickly access information on apprenticeships, short courses, funding options, and workforce development tools. The site also features an expanded content hub offering industry insights, news, and practical guidance – designed to keep Skills for Security’s growing community informed and connected.

The digital refresh comes as Skills for Security continues to scale its training offer nationwide. With regional training centres, partnerships across the UK and a sharp focus on raising industry standards, the organisation is playing a central role in addressing the talent pipeline challenges faced by the fire and security industry.
Mollie adds: “This launch marks another important milestone in our mission to raise standards and help the sector grow. We’ve listened to our learners, employers and partners and designed a platform that’s not only easier to use but one that reflects the professionalism and ambition of the industry itself. I’d encourage visitors to explore the site, find what they need and take that next step – whether it’s booking a course, hiring an apprentice, or finding out how to get involved.”
