Why reading books is good for society, wellbeing and your career

Hey Everyone,

Welcome to the 126th edition of the Aussie Painting Contractor Magazine.

What a milestone we have reached!

I would like to make special mention to Jim Baker on reaching 69 years of age and contributing almost every month since we started the magazine. Enjoy your holiday and I look forward to seeing the posts you share on your journey. I would also like to thank all contributors that have made this milestone possible. Also, last but in no way least, Anne , who has been here for over a decade and has got the magazine out on time each month.

In this month’s edition I have started a 12-part series, the Importance of Training. It will give you an understanding of what apprentice painters need to be trained in. If your trainer isn’t training and is only visiting onsite to do paperwork? That not training our industry for the future.

Aussie Painters Network have built a training facility specifically for training painters, not other trades. It is available for use by others if they are wanting to upskill or even have trainers training within it.
