This program is offered in partnership with the Painters Union at various local training centers around the state. Students must be currently working in a registered apprenticeship program in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship Training.
The apprenticeship program prepares the student to work as a journey-level Painter, as well as earn an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Applied Industrial Technology. A four-year apprenticeship emphasizes the skill set required to be a highly skilled craftsman. Painters prepare surfaces of buildings and other structures and then apply paint and other compounds by means of brushes, rollers and sprayers. Painters apply a variety of substances including varnish, lacquers and enamels to interior surfaces and exterior structures. They may also work with wallpaper, vinyl and other materials, as well as mix paints, sandblast and waterblast.
The apprenticeship certificate recognizes the student attaining journey level status at the completion of the technical studies. Apprentices may apply technical studies together with general education coursework toward an Associate of Applied Science degree with a concentration in pipefitting.
