Thriving in Corporate Security After Serving in the Public Sector

by Andrew Saluke on May 6, 2021

Law enforcement officers, federal agents, and members of the U.S. Armed Services have unique and marketable skills that translate well to careers in corporate security.

But these former public servants often face unique challenges when they transition to the private sector. They must learn how to navigate a new culture, a different working environment, and unfamiliar standards for performance evaluation and promotion.

Fortunately, many peers have made the same transition and are willing to share what they have learned along the way.

Join us for a 45-minute webinar featuring best practices and pragmatic advice from a panel of former law enforcement officers who have built successful security careers in the private sector.

The broadcast will offer insights for professionals who plan to transition or who have entered the private sector and look to build their careers.

Sponsorships Available

Discussion topics include:

Key differences between private sector and law enforcement culture
Skills & experience sought by hiring managers
Advice on seeking promotions and improved compensation (“climbing the corporate ladder”)
Lessons learned from successes and challenges
