PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 19, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Securitas USA, a global leader in protective services and intelligent security solutions, today announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Guild to expand access to education and career development across its workforce through the SecureU Education Benefit Program powered by Guild.
As the first security company to partner with Guild, Securitas USA is setting a new benchmark for workforce investment in the security industry, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening the people who protect businesses, communities, and critical environments every day.
SecureU is designed to provide employees, including frontline officers and administrative professionals, with tuition-free education, diverse learning pathways, and career development opportunities that foster long-term growth within the organization, in addition to ongoing training.
"At Securitas, we believe that when people dedicate their careers to protecting others, organizations have a responsibility to invest in their growth," said Chrissy Toskos, Chief People Experience Officer, Securitas.
This partnership signals a broader shift in organizational workforce development, recognizing education as a catalyst for talent resilience, employee engagement, and sustained business performance.
"Security is a critical, frontline industry at a moment of real transformation, and the companies that treat education as core workforce infrastructure, not a perk, will be the ones that build true adaptability," said Bijal Shah, CEO, Guild. "Securitas is setting a new standard by embedding education and career mobility into its talent strategy, creating real pathways for employees to grow into critical roles. We are proud to partner with Securitas USA as we expand into the security industry and demonstrate how education drives measurable workforce outcomes at scale."

Through SecureU, Securitas is investing in its workforce's future by expanding access to the education and skills required to excel in today's security landscape.
