Meet GRACE: Your New Online Trainer for the Glass and Glazing Industry
We take great pride in offering the GGF community benefits that reflects the needs of the industry, and we are delighted to introduce you to our newest Member benefit, a brand-new online training platform, Nucleus, and its instructor GRACE (Glazing Resources and Career Education).
The new platform built in collaboration with Nucleus Learning, is the next step in providing engaging training, personal development and annual refresher courses; some of which will be offered to the GGF community for no cost. The platform will launch on browser and mobile during an exclusive webinar on Monday 4th November.
Text walls are a thing of the past, now it’s all about interactive elements and engaging videos!
The introduction of GRACE among other recurring speakers, will engage learners through interactive content alongside instructional videos filmed exclusively for the platform. GGF Training will launch with a library of courses ranging from essential soft skills to highly specialised industry modules with new courses set to be added each month. These include key regulatory subjects like Regulation 14 for Safety Glass, as well as broader topics such as mental health and Lifesaving Skills.
The system is designed to be both affordable and convenient, breaking down the barriers of cost, time, and location that often prevent employees from accessing vital learning. Each individual employee will have personalised access to relevant courses, tailored to their specific job roles and development needs, ensuring that GGF Members can stay compliant with the latest standards while continuously upskilling their workforce.
John Mannell, GGF’s Technical Officer and Training Manager, emphasised the need for the platform in light of industry challenges: “With the changes across the industry and the introduction of the Building Safety Regulator, the need to demonstrate core competencies beyond the old Grandfather rights, and the growing skills shortage in our sector, GGF Training is built to grow and adapt alongside shifting market demands and regulations.”
The GGF Training app brings a fresh, easy-to-use interface that makes learning so much easier. With interactive modules, quick knowledge checks, and practical examples, it helps staff put their new skills straight into practice, improving both safety and performance on the job. Since the app is available on both web and mobile, you can access it whether you’re in the office or out on-site, making learning more flexible than ever. The GGF Training app can work around you and your schedule.
Richard Ainley, CRO at Nucleus Learning, expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership: “Over the last 4 years, Nucleus Learning has helped industries revolutionise their teaching and learning standards. Working with industries such as Road & Haulage, Warehousing, Fuel Distribution and Heavy Lifting we could not be more excited to help John and the team at the GGF with their exciting and well-thought-out initiative.”
For employers, the platform will become a game-changer acting as a Learning Management System (LMS). Managers can easily assign courses, track progress, and ensure that employees remain up to date with latest regulations. The system also promises to be a valuable tool in tackling the industry’s skills shortage by creating continuous learning opportunities and providing direct pathways to apprenticeships and further education.
This launch marks a major milestone for us at the GGF as we continue to lead the charge in improving safety, competency, and career development across the glass and glazing sector.
On Monday, 4th November, we’re holding a webinar for both Members and non-members, where you’ll get an exclusive first look at our new platform.
We’ll show you how it can upskill your workforce and just how easy it is to use! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for further information to follow over the coming weeks.
