Employing an apprentice is an opportunity to develop skilled workers within your business while supporting the next generation of painters and decorators.

Apprentices combine practical experience in the workplace with formal training and assessment through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), allowing them to develop their skills while working within the industry.

Depending on the apprentice, employer and current government programs, financial incentives or other support may also be available. Eligibility and program requirements can change, so employers should check current information before making decisions.

Painting Apprenticeships can help employers understand the apprenticeship pathway and connect with people looking to start a career in painting and decorating.
