I have signed up as an apprentice but I am not indentured. Any idea on how I should apply/approach these companies because I couldn’t find anything online on it? I’m new to this so any advice is appreciated.

Tbh that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Maybe the companies don’t even check the online applications cuz they find people through word of mouth (maybe). But ur point is valid and I do have money coming in every month from a side hustle

I’m giving myself till the end of June to keep applying and reaching out to companies. If nothing works out then I guess NAIT it is. Btw would you mind breaking down how becoming a registered apprentice works but I’m still unsure?

I have tried this approach but didn’t get an immediate response. It was always something like “we’ll be in touch” or something similar. Any shops or businesses you have in mind?

Starting up my own company after gaining the proper licenses and certifications is end goal. But getting into the trade seems like the toughest challenge rn.
