IPVM is giving 3-month free Info+ Limited subscriptions (historical price $99) for the unemployed.

To get it, just contact us; your request will be confidential. If you do not have an IPVM subscription, we will create a new one free for three months. If you do have a subscription, we will add three months free.

Use IPVM To Learn And Show Off

IPVM is the best way for physical security professionals to learn about technology, products, trends, and the business. Pick from over 9,000 reports and over 10,000 discussions or start a discussion, etc.

Benefits IPVM Too

We are not claiming this is purely altruistic. We do believe that if we help people here when things get better (and they will), many people we helped here will remember this and become paying subscribers, recommend us to others, etc.

Just Email Us Confidentially

Just email contact us (or email info@ipvm.com), confirm you are unemployed, and we will confidentially send you a 3-month free subscription.

And, of course, subscribers, if you have any friends or colleagues impacted, let them know or contact us and we will help get them set up free.

[Note: this was originally offered during the 2000 Pandemic and we are continuing to offer this today.]

Have you put any new thought into setting up a job board?

It would be really good if you could make the training courses free for the unemployed, get them skilled up for when the market improves.

YES. Good public service and incidentally good marketing. I agree that the course should be free for the unemployed. I am grateful to retain my employment but a bridge for those who find themselves unemployed helps us all in the long run.

Regarding free courses - courses take time for an IPVM member to speak with every student (on-demand), answer questions by email and for grading and feedback (all0. I am not opposed to incurring the cost but right now, we are super busy with so much to cover around all the coronavirus issues so I am trying not to overextend ourselves. I think people should be able to get a lot out of all the included resources - 6,000+ reports, 800+ tests, etc.

John and IPVM team. This is incredibly gracious during these unprecedented times! With so much uncertainty, this is a great opportunity to learn from your reports as you stated and brush up on your skills.

I put a video on our home page about how we’re giving back. For those of us in a position to give back, I challenge all of you! This is an opportunity to help others. As we come out the other side we will all be stronger for it!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of us!

Thank you again John!

John, Have you considered a tab or spot on the page where companies can post employment opportunities? The IPVM membership represents a huge talent pool and could be a great place to connect people with companies. I would say that most companies like mine wouldn't even mind if there was a small posting fee associated with this service. Thoughts?

Yet another reason I subscribe and pay for IPVM's services. I can vouch that John indeed gave me a few months free when I was unemployed and trying to start my own small business. He did this without me even asking after I posted a comment about my situation. Luckily for me, I gained employment at a big educational institute and was glad to start paying for services again. Thanks again John. My heart and prayers go out to those impacted by this situation.

Note: we've updated this post for 2022, especially in light of increased layoffs.

Now that we have Info+ and Research, the free 3 months with be for Info+.

People still regularly reach out to us about this and we are happy to help.

John, where are increased layoffs coming from in our industry? Seems most folks are hiring. Was there a recent massive layoff I didn't read about?
