opportunity to learn more about LP, showcase their skills and knowledge to potential employers, and network with industry professionals through their College Student Program.

The students attending their conference this year in Orlando are sure to once again catch the attention of industry leaders looking to bring on college-educated talent. Students present a retail LP-related project in a session devoted to them. The attendance at last year’s student session was outstanding. “The college student program is a recruiting tool,” says Lisa LaBruno senior vice president of retail operations for RILA. “It exposes retailers and solution providers to talented and driven young people who are passionate about pursuing a career in retail asset protection. A number of last year’s student participants were hired by retailers who met them at the conference.”

Garth Gasse, RILA’s new director of retail operations, AP, adds, “Short-term this program increases awareness about the retail AP industry, as well as the possible career opportunities it offers. Through participation in this significant research project and the partnerships it offers, high-potential college students are given the chance to learn all about the industry. Longer term, we hope that the program will generate interest in the AP field as a future career opportunity.”

Foundation Partnership

The Loss Prevention Foundation proudly partners with IOBSE and RILA by providing LPQualified course and exam scholarships to give these students the added advantage of the LPQ designation—a certification preferred by over sixty companies nationwide.

As you make your plans to attend this year’s spring conferences, consider the impact you could have on the industry by “going back to school” and engaging these students in conversation, networking with them, offering your experiences, and listening to their perspective on current relevant topics presented in their session. For that small investment of your time and interest, you and the industry will both be enriched.
