FÁS Employment Services offices provide guidance and support to jobseekers in sourcing employers. The individual in question should contact her local FÁS employment office and avail of this service so that she may possibly source an employer who requires an apprentice painter.

In addition any company that recruits this individual as an apprentice may also benefit from the FÁS bursary, which exists for employers who recruit female apprentices. In order to encourage the participation of women in apprenticeship, FAS offers a bursary to encourage an increased level of recruitment by employers of female apprentices. The bursary provides a total grant of €2,666.45 to each employer who recruits a female apprentice. The aim of the bursary is to provide an incentive to employers to train and employ female apprentices.
