Private Security and Investigative Services Program - Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning's Private Security and Investigative Services Program is a 'series of new courses' that 'will be of interest to Private Security Officers currently working, or interested in gaining employment in the Security and security-related industries,' as well as those employed in 'supervisory staff roles.' The Courses have been designed in response to Bill 159, which 'amended the Security Guards and Private Investigators Act of Ontario,' which mandates 'essential skills certification - including core competency development and training for all employees in security and security-related roles,' including those in 'supervisory staff roles.' Sherdian and its partners to enable students to meet the aforementioned ænew educational and competency development standardsÆ have developed the Courses. The Courses can be taken in-class, online, or 'on an "in-house" basis for Private or Corporate Security organizations wanting skills training for their security staff.' No courses are scheduled 'for the Winter and Spring/Summer 2007 Semesters.' Career-wise, individuals interested in security may, once they have attained the proper credentials, apply for employment in government security agencies at both the federal and provincial levels, private security firms, and numerous other employers. For example, graduates may assume positions in correctional and youth detention centres, entertainment industry (such as casinos and special events), high risk and task specific escorts (like money transfers and bodyguard work), municipal by-law enforcement, national and provincial government asset protection (such as government buildings and nuclear power plants), on board security roles (airplanes, trains, and transit systems, for example), and other public and private security employment. Those skilled in investigation can also pursue employment as criminal investigators, police officers, private investigators, among others. Students should be aware that some positions will require further training and education beyond that supplied by the Program. Furthermore, individuals who possess a criminal record may find it difficult to attain employment in security, corrections, and related areas.
