NGA Sponsors UGA Apprentice Appreciation BBQ

45 apprentices in class of 2023

The Utah Glass Association (UGA), an NGA Affiliated Chapter, hosted its 5th Annual Apprentice Appreciation BBQ on Aug. 29, in Salt Lake City. The event recognized 45 apprentices currently enrolled in UGA's four-year, Department of Labor (DOL) certified, Glazier Apprenticeship Program

NGA's Glazier Apprentice Curriculum was pleased to sponsor the event. NGA's Glazier Apprentice Curriculum is for organizations and companies that want to establish a glazier apprenticeship program approved by the U.S. DOL. Students who complete the curriculum earn a jointly endorsed NGA/NCCER credential indicating a journeyman-level minimum competency reached through knowledge and performance.
