The Glass Industry Occupations framework provides work based training for young people and adults to undertake key manufacturing, craft and technical roles in the Glass and Glazing industry.

There are 2 levels of apprenticeship contained in this framework:

• The Level 2 Foundation Apprenticeship in Glass Industry Occupations (usually takes 12-18 months to complete)
• The Level 3 Apprenticeship in Glass Industry Occupations (usually takes 24-36 months to complete)

The framework contains details of the vocational qualifications, knowledge based technical qualifications, Essential Skills Wales (Communication and Application of Number), and employee rights and responsibilities that are required for an Apprenticeship in Glass Industry Occupations.

Apprentices undertake training both on and off-the-job at their workplace and training is also often undertaken away from the workplace, delivered by a local training provider or a further education college.
