Painting Apprenticeships for Women

Apprenticeships are a powerful way to break into the painting industry—especially for women looking for hands-on experience and mentorship. These programs typically combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, helping you gain real-world skills while earning a paycheck.

In most areas, painting does not actually require an apprenticeship.

This means that you can get hired in a painting business without any previous experience - or paperwork.

If you are having a hard time getting hired with no experience, focus on any labor-type jobs on your resume and your attention to detail.

If you are looking for an extra leg up against the competition, consider an in-person paint training to give you the fundamental skills needed to let your employer know that you are already trained AND already fully committed to the trade,.

What’s more? Painting is also a remarkably easy trade to be self employed in. Huge portions of people need and will pay for painting in their homes. If you focus on exceptional quality, and an amazing customer experience, you can easily get started and “get the snowball rolling”.

If you’re thinking about giving it a go on your own, it is so helpful to join a community for women in paint that not only provides examples of all the paperwork and contracts you could want to get started, but also a community of other women in paint to ask questions!
