Demand for glaziers will be sustained, as glass manufacturers and installers are key to achieving net zero targets.
As requirements for new buildings change and regulations regarding energy efficiency in the building industry change there will be a need to trained glaziers to drive the improvement in new builds to include the use of Solar windows and other emerging technologies. The ongoing need to repair and modernise existing structures, including many homes, will often involve installing new windows and will therefore generate work for glaziers. Security needs and the need to mitigate potential damage caused by severe weather are increasing the demand for specialized safety glass and glass with protective laminates.
The Australian Glass and Windows Association has a number of videos available that will provide insight into the different Careers in Glass(opens in a new tab) . These careers span across residential, commercial, and industrial glazing sectors, offering diverse opportunities for young people.
