Start working on your CV and then send it with a covering letter to businesses where you would like to be an apprentice. For example you can google ‘Hairdressers near me’ which will provide a list of hair salons near where you are that might be interested in taking on an apprentice. You may find an email address on their website or you can send your cv and covering letter by post or you can take it to them direct. This demonstrates that you are proactive and keen to find work.

You can find good examples and help in producing your cv at the websites shown below.
