Any of the websites mentioned above could be a good way of finding possible employers - see the section below. If employers are recruiting it could be worth asking if they would be prepared to take you on as an apprentice.

Networking is about using or developing contacts - friends, neighbours, relations or friends of neighbours and relations - to find a suitable job.

But there is no reason why you should not use the same technique to find an Apprenticeship.
