There are some out there but few and far between. most companys seem to like getting folk straight out of school probably to pay less and get money from government . all you can do is send out a huge amount of C.Vs
i was lucky i got started at 16. (many years ago now)
Colleges that run apprentice courses in NI specify an upper age limit - I believe it's either 22 or 24. Can't speak for GB, but I can send out CVs until the cows come home and still wouldn't be able to take the apprentice route.
It's been a struggle to even find a college that runs Level 2&3 courses that I could undertake while gaining experience and the limited options usually available were unavailable this year due to coronavirus drastically reducing classroom capacity. I'm currently torn between starting a distance learning course or waiting to try and secure a college place for next year (days as no evening courses exist) - common sense tells me to wait, but there's no guarantee I'd get a place and trying that route might just see me waste a year that could have been spent gainfully studying.
