There are job advertisements in newspapers when companies are looking for apprentices. Walk the streets with your eyes open! Very often companies put up signs: Apprentice wanted!
Tell as many people as possible (friends, acquaintances, relatives) about your dream job. Often apprenticeships are found through private contacts!
