NTCA is finishing out 2023 with 10 workshops and one art glass panel training in December. 

Workshops: Texas, California and Illinois

NTCA Trainers are visiting three states in December with 10 free, standards-based workshops that put you in touch with peers and industry experts as you learn new skills and information. Enjoy a catered meal from local eateries, and a chance to win valuable prizes.
