Careers in security
Professional development in the security sector can put you on a pathway to higher level positions within security companies and other organisations. Those seeking promotion or higher salaried jobs should watch this site for developments.
At times promotion in your company may not be as quick as you would like. However many government agencies, organisations as well as corporate companies are currently or will be seeking security professionals to work within their company. These agencies and organisations expect the successful applicant to have maintained a professional development programme as well as membership of a suitable security organisation that supports them. The Security Institute of New Zealand is the organisation that will do this for you.
