Hey Everyone, Welcome to the 128th edition of the Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine.

Another amazing month with lots happening!! The I Got Brushed Program is in full flight with the Volunteer Marine Rescue Currumbin in conjunction with MEGT and Major Training, getting prettied up with the participants going great guns and all putting in a fabulous effort. In the first couple of weeks we have already earmarked a few as potential apprentices once the program is complete. So, if you are on the Gold Coast and are considering putting on an apprentice let us know as we will have some for you to start later in the year. They are turning up on time and putting in a good days work. It’s always great to hear at smoko time the comments, “hang on I just want to finish this before I have a break.”

I spent another week on the road catching up with employers and training apprentices in Gympie, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay. A big shout out to Inspirations Paints in Bundy for letting us work out of their carpark and as always Hervey Bay Seagulls for putting us up and giving us access to your facilities. I even squeezed in a visit to Stanthorpe to catch up with an apprentice as well.

We have done a couple more school expo’s and a Try a Trade day with the YMCA. From that we got 4 applicants wanting to get school based apprenticeships, within less than 24 hours we have already placed 2 onto trials.

If you are looking for an apprentice let us know, we might be able to help.
