The Utah Glass Association recently launched a four-year glazier apprenticeship program that allows glaziers to earn a Journeyman certification recognized countrywide. Approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, the program incorporates NGA’s MyGlassClass.com courses, as well as education and life-skill classes developed by UGA. While the apprentice classes of 2022 and 2023 are at capacity, UGA will begin accepting applications for the class of 2024 in Spring 2020.
