Engineers of Tomorrow Security Installation Competition
The UK Skills Competition for Young Security and Fire Engineers and Apprentices
The highly respected Engineers of Tomorrow competition is designed to recognise and showcase the next generation of security and fire systems installers from across the UK. The competition helps to raise the profile of engineering apprenticeships and the opportunity they represent within the sector.
Regional heats took place between January and March 2020, where over 150 apprentices took part in a live installation challenge. The top 24 apprentices will then proceed to the semi-final at IFSEC International 2021, taking place at ExCeL London. With visitors from diversified sectors, IFSEC International is where the security and fire safety industries meet.
NEW FOR 2020: The 8 top security apprentices will proceed to the final at WorldSkills UK LIVE, taking place at Birmingham NEC on 19 - 21 November. Attracting over 70,000 visitors, WorldSkills UK is the UK's largest skills, apprenticeships and careers event. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be presented to the top 3 and they will receive a cash prize at the Security & Fire Excellence Awards.
