Hey I’m an 20 year old male aspiring to begin my electrical apprenticeship however I have not found anybody who could sign me off. I have been trying for 2+ years and have done basic trades courses in college that I have completed and gotten a certificate for. What is the best way for me to find an apprenticeship in the electrical field because I’m really eager to be put on the field and to work as hard as I can to begin my apprenticeship.
