A creative young person has developed her potential at The Skills Academy. She pursued the opportunity to apply her interest in art and design to painting and decorating.
The Skills Academy is our education and training centre that exists to help young people achieve qualifications, complete work experience and one day enter the world of work. There are plenty of subjects to pick from, giving young people the chance to spend time channelling their genuine interests into valuable skills. Painting and decorating, mechanics, horticulture and garden and more are all options.
An imaginative and creatively minded young person decided to enrol in the academy’s painting and decorating course. Quickly picking up advanced surface treatments, detailed brushwork and intricate decorative finishes, she is truly enjoying channelling her passion for design into learning a professional skill.
She is feeling more and more confident after each lesson and practical project. As time passes, she is beginning to picture the livelihood she could possibly have if she continues to develop her painting and decorating techniques.
Within the academy’s painting and decorating workshop, young people work closely with the Painting and Decorating Instructor and learn by transforming spaces themselves. From beginning to end, young people prepare surfaces and try different painting and decorating techniques while carefully using and maintaining the relevant equipment and prioritising safety. With a strong foundation in painting skills, the learners can explore endless creative possibilities.
