Become a Registered Apprentice!
How you get started…
Registered apprenticeships are formal career-training programs that offer a combination of structured on-the-job training and related technical instruction to provide potential painters and allied trades workers with the high level of skill required to work in the demanding finishing trades.
Apprenticeship training standards are industry-driven; and an industry or program sponsor determines the skill requirements needed to build and sustain a quality of workforce.
Apprenticeships can last from three to four years (occupation-dependent). During this time, apprentices work and learn under the direction of experienced journey workers. Over time, apprentices are provided the diversity and complexity of training that leads to becoming highly skilled in their chosen occupations. As they gain skill, they are compensated through an increase in wages.
