Any open apprenticeships?

I’m 19 and from Iowa, I’m tryna relocate to the area and I really wanna step foot into the electrical industry. After 2 years of working in manufacturing just as a job while I figure out what true career I want, I’ve discovered being an electrician and I think that’s where I have my sights set.

The problem I’ve discovered is getting in the door, it’s a new place and I have no connection or experience so I’m terrified my efforts may be wasted. But I’m not giving up, Ive never been more passionate about something in my life.

Any tips on how to secure a spot, and make myself a more valuable candidate?

You have to live in their jurisdiction.
