This experience has changed my perception of Securitas. It allowed me to see things from a wider perspective and on the longer term, and to perceive the importance and consequences of today’s work for the future. I hope that this experience will contribute to my future development with Securitas. 

Would you recommend the scholarship to others, and if so, why?

I would recommend it without hesitation – for the quality of its organization, and above all, for the personal enrichment of meeting colleagues from different countries.Sharing the day-to-day professional life of a foreign colleague is a unique and extraordinary experience, both on the practical and personal side.Through this experience, one can feel those values that are so highly regarded by Securitas – integrity, vigilance and helpfulness.This scholarship further reinforces the added value of working at a multinational company such as Securitas.
