The challenge set by Dulux in partnership with the College aims to educate and inform painting and decorating apprentices about the benefits of using water-based products.
Learners also learnt new application tips and techniques which are required to achieve the perfect finish with the paints.
After a theory session the apprentices all received their own application accessories pack and proceeded to take on a panelled door challenge using the Dulux Colour of the Year, Spiced Honey.
The students then competed to be recognised as the individual winner of an exclusive National Apprenticeship Week Golden Paintbrush Award.
Dulux Academy Lead Vickie Mather says: “National Apprenticeship Week is an important date in our annual events calendar.
“The partnership between industry and education providers like Lincoln College is a great opportunity to inspire apprentices, their employers, college tutors and the painting and decorating industry as a whole.
“We’ve outlined our commitments to the future of the decorating profession in our ‘Joint Minds Charter’, which Lincoln College has signed up to.
“This charter confirms the direct student benefits involved in partnering with Dulux Academy.
“To date Dulux Academy has delivered over 1,000 hours of supported learning to college students and apprentices demonstrating the joint commitment to upskilling the next generation of trade professionals.”
