Painter programs in Virginia

No sponsor in Virginia has published a wage scale, so we can name the 1 registered apprenticeship below but not what they pay. The trade schools further down publish their prices, which is why they look more complete. That is a gap in the public record, not a verdict on which is the better deal.
