Painter at Colorado S/W Glaziers/Glassworkers JATC

Colorado S/W Glaziers/Glassworkers JATC offers a union Painter Apprenticeship in Denver, CO, with a focus on glazing and architectural glass work. This JATC program trains apprentices to install glass systems for commercial buildings, storefronts, curtain walls, and other architectural applications across Colorado and the Mountain West region.

This three-year program combines 6,000 hours of paid on-the-job training with 432 hours of related technical instruction. Apprentices work on active construction sites installing glass panels, window frames, storefronts, and specialty glazing systems while developing precision measurement and cutting skills. Classroom instruction covers glass types and properties, safety glazing standards, sealant and caulking techniques, blueprint interpretation, and OSHA compliance. Apprentices earn wages from day one, with pay increasing in step with their skill development.

Graduates complete the apprenticeship as journeyman glaziers recognized by union contractors throughout Colorado. Denver's robust commercial construction market — including high-rise, institutional, and hospitality projects — creates consistent demand for qualified glaziers with JATC credentials.
