Good luck on that hunt Zach, if you haven't already, find out Apprentice 1-2-1 on social media and Solent Apprenticeship Hub, between them they ought to get you in the right direction.
You don't have an apprenticeship at the moment but that's no reason to not gear yourself up for success; get yourself a set of tools; doesn't have to be fancy, just has to work and I'd say 1000v for anything pokey or pulley (that is screwdrivers and pliers).
Get yourself a bit of MDF, sockets, backboxs, a consumer unit (ideally you're gonna want an old 3036 rewirable (still tons put there and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Doris from number 68 who brought her house when you could go to the shop with a <insert pre-decimel currency (pounds, shillings, crowns and pence) here>, get a loaf and milk and still buy a house with the change, and so has the old style boards.
Make yourself a fiddle rig, practice terminations, safe isolation and testing sequences - You don't need the equipment just yet but building the muscle memory should help.
Get yourself a copy of the On-site Guide and Guidance Note 3 and learn it, not by heart but have an idea where to find information.
Get this under your belt while looking for an apprenticeship and by the time you get taken on you'll come into the job with useful skills and possibly be the difference between you and Charlie, who has no idea how to terminate a plug and so forth
Good luck & Have fun.
