We have a doozy for you all today! Baer Halvorson of The Security Today Podcast joins us to share his background in the industry and a bit about how he got into creating content - both his podcast and course/educational content before we dive into our conversation about the future of skilled trades - in particular the skilled trades in the security industry.
We've all seen the headlines and topics covering the need for more skilled labor and I'm sure many of you have heard the inquiries of companies searching for skilled technicians in our field. We dig into some of the ideas that might help to shape and strengthen our industry for the future.
