From the Editor

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to the 127th edition of the Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine.

The financial year has come to an end and things from all reports don’t look like slowing up anytime soon.

It’s been another one of those busy months with me attending another three Career Expos which have been successful in getting a few people into the trade and starting trials with employers looking at painting as a career.

Ten training days which included me spending the best part of a week spotting apprentices as they learnt how to use boom and scissor lifts. I also managed a trip to Toowoomba to train this month as well.

In a couple of days, we start the I Got Brushed Program doing the Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Currumbin. We are doing this program in conjunction with MEGT and Major Training. In this program we have 8 participants that will be repainting a couple of buildings for the VMR and learning the skills to get them ready for gaining painting apprenticeships. If you are interested in finding out some more information about the participants for potential apprenticeships, contact me.
