The partnership gives Pyro Spectaculars by Souza exclusive access to the well-developed operator recruitment resources of Pyrotechnic Innovations, in addition to collaborating in a new program that aims to take pyrotechnic operator knowledge, public safety, and show performance to a higher standard.

Pyro Spectaculars by Souza and Pyrotechnic Innovations announced today that they have formed an alliance to help recruit, train, and retain qualified pyrotechnic operators in the United States. Building from the online platform that Pyrotechnic Innovations has developed, they plan to pioneer an industry-leading program, which utilizes both academic, and field exercises to methodically increase the knowledge of each pyrotechnic operator throughout their career in the fireworks industry. Jim Souza, President and Chief Creative Officer of Pyro Spectaculars by Souza tells us, “I’m excited about working with Pyro Innovations in this new collaboration. Pyro Innovations has a strong history of finding and training great operators. I’m confident that our joint efforts will yield tremendous value for both organizations.”

Pyro Spectaculars by Souza, one of the largest, most respected fireworks display companies in the world, whose show quality, operator knowledge, and safety are already industry leaders, will once again be moving the bar higher. “We are going to take the best and make it even better,” said Mike Tockstein, President and CEO of Pyrotechnic Innovations. Tockstein continues, “We are not only going to create a more standardized training program, but also opportunities for any of our pyrotechnic operators to add more advanced skills to their fireworks knowledge bank, enabling them to elevate themselves well above what normally constitutes being a licensed pyrotechnic operator.”

Increasing opportunities for that operator is not their only goal. “Safety around large display fireworks is always paramount,” says Tockstein. Souza, who is past president of the American Pyrotechnic Association (APA) and is currently on the NFPA Fireworks Code Committee, goes on to comment, “Pyro Spectaculars has a long history of leading the pyrotechnics industry in operator and fire service training. This program is the natural progression of Pyro Spectaculars and will ensure our operators will continue our 35 years of safety leadership in the industry.” The program aims to create a lifecycle, which continually trains, updates, and qualifies operators to ensure public safety and outstanding show performance.

Additional details of the program will be released as they become available. You can apply to become a pyrotechnic apprentice by visiting Pyro Spectaculars by Souza at http://pyrospec.com or Pyrotechnic Innovations at http://pyroinnovations.com.
