We need more young people. It’s our challenge not only in the glazing trade, but in all trades,” says Mark Applegate, general superintendent, Pikes Peak Glass in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
“Experienced glaziers are continuing to retire, and with the push toward more formal education through four-year colleges, there is a lack of people coming out of school and going into construction trades,” says Chase. “People don’t know that they can build a career as a glazier. And even if they do catch wind [of the glazing trade], they are coming in completely untrained.”
