In the U.S., apprenticeship programs can be found through the Country wide Glass Association as well as trade associations and local contractors' associations. Construction-industry glaziers are frequently associates of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.[1] 
 
In Ontario, Canada, apprenticeships are offered at the provincial level and accredited through the Ontario University of Trades.[5]
