Most people in the security industry agree that the biggest challenge today is finding qualified technicians. In this episode of the Pipl Systems Podcast, we sit down with Roland Akwensivie, President of Delmi Solutions and founder of Delmi Training Institute in Toronto, Canada. His mission is clear: provide hands-on, job-ready education in network cabling, CCTV surveillance, access control, and low-voltage electronics to close the talent gap in the security market.
Instead of relying on the traditional “train on the job” model that often passes down bad habits, Delmi Training Institute has created a structured, real-world environment where students make mistakes in the classroom, not on customer sites. With over 97% of graduates finding employment, Roland’s story shows how practical training transforms both careers and the industry itself.
We cover:
• Why hands-on security training produces better results than traditional learning
• The types of students entering the industry and how they find opportunities
• How integration businesses benefit from partnering with training institutes
• What manufacturers and brands gain from supporting training programs
• Where Delmi sees the future of security education, including online training opportunities
If you’ve ever wondered how to train better technicians or how to build a career in security and low-voltage systems, this conversation offers field-tested insights you can use right away. Watch until the end so you don’t miss anything.
