Wet Trade Apprenticeships

WetTrade Apprenticeships provides a cost-effective and intelligent solution for recruiting, employing, and training your apprentice.

Wettrade Apprenticeships (WTA) was established in 2023 to address the shortage of workers in the wet trades and provide alternative solutions for apprentices seeking real-world outcomes in the industry.

WTA is a Group Training Organisation (GTO) that is a new greenfield division of Master Painters Association of Qld Ltd (MPA), which is owned and operated by Master Painters Decorators and Signwriters Association Queensland Union of Employers. MPA is a member-owned not-for-profit industry association, set up over a century ago. MPA supports consumers and painters, setting industry standards in ethical business practices and competency trade skills.

Today, MPA is recognised by government and industry stakeholders as the peak representative body for Queensland’s painting and decorating industry.
