SFPE Makes Careers Presentation to American School Counselor Association


The Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) made a presentation at the “Careers Your Students Need to Know About” session at the American School Counselor Association's (ASCA) 2009 Annual Conference. This presentation was given on June 28, 2009 at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. The purpose of the session was to help guidance counselors learn about exciting career opportunities that may not be considered by students.

During this presentation, the SFPE shared important information about the profession of fire protection engineering. Key messages that were developed by the SFPE Public Awareness Committee were shared with the guidance counselors. These messages include:

  • Fire protection engineers use and science and technology to make our world safe from fire.

  • Fire protection engineers are in high demand. The number of jobs consistently outweighs the number of engineers available to fill them.

  • A career in fire protection engineering pays well, provides opportunities for world travel, and offers the chance to work in a variety of environments.

  • Fire protection engineers make the world a better place.
