The GGF Skilled Pathways Scheme has been set up to help Member companies
recruit, train and qualify trainees.
In the current landscape for skills and labour, all
companies are struggling to recruit new people
into the industry. Currently, apprenticeships are
not working effectively for the glazing sector. The
GGF Skilled Pathways Scheme will encourage GGF
Members to take on trainees and to ensure they
are trained and qualified to a level of competence that
makes them a valuable asset to a business.
The Government’s strategies and targets for Net
Zero between now and 2050, will require an
estimated 500,000 additional skilled workers for the
Construction Sector, the figure includes the Glass,
Glazing and Fenestration Industries need more
skilled workers. Recognising this need and potential,
the GGF Skilled Pathways Scheme will be of real
benefit to its Members.
