Vitro is offering six online Continuing Education (CE) opportunities for you throughout the month of May.
Our partners at ICD High-Performance Coatings and Walker Glass are each hosting sessions of their CE courses for our Glass Education Insiders, and our Vino with Vitro wine education events are now also worth one AIA/CES learning unit.
