A New Career Initiative By The UAE Security Sector
The UAE’s private security sector is expanding its workforce with a new initiative aimed at both first-time job seekers and retired professionals. This initiative by the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) offers training courses to help eager candidates qualify for roles within security companies. Additionally, the initiative also provides refresher courses for retirees seeking a new career path.

Training & Job Matching For All Experience Levels
The initiative supports the government’s goal to develop the private security sector. Senior officials at SIRA say the programme equips new entrants with the skills needed for security roles and prepares retirees to adapt to civilian work environments. Through the programme, candidates can take part in open-door events where they can meet security companies and organisations with security departments. Officials describe these events as an opportunity for job seekers to explore available roles and for companies to recruit trained talent.
An Opportunity For Career Growth – From Leadership Roles & Emirati Support
There are several opportunities available at multiple levels, including leadership and supervisory roles for experienced candidates. Officials add that the required training varies based on each individual’s career path and qualifications. While the programme is open to all nationalities, there is a strong focus on Emiratisation. UAE nationals receive full support for security training, and their programme fees are covered.

Here’s How You Can Apply
If you’re looking for a job or considering a career change, then this might be the perfect time to consider a role in the private security sector. Interested candidates, including retired professional candidates, can visit the Security Industry Regulatory Agency near the Etisalat Academy to review their documents and explore available opportunities.
