NGA Secures California Funding to Provide Glass Industry Training

August 24, 2007

The National Glass Association announced today that it has received an Employment Training Panel (ETP) contract from the State of California to provide training programs in both the auto glass and flat/architectural glass sectors that will include a mix of classroom and laboratory work and online training through www.MyGlassClass.com. The courses can lead to prestigious NGA certification for auto glass installers and flat glass technicians, respectively, and the training will be conducted in California, with each instructor-led course accommodating between 10-20 students.

The ETP program is performance-based, providing funds for trainees who successfully complete training and are retained in well-paying jobs for a specific period of time. Since its inception in 1983, the ETP program has provided over $1 billion to train more than 660,000 workers in over 60,000 California companies. The program is funded by the Employment Training Tax paid by California employers, and targets firms threatened by out-of-state and international competition.
