This all sounds rather gloomy. I got on the CTCMcAlpine sponsorship scheme, but even that doesn't guarantee a job. The CTCMcAlpine scheme currently have 4600 applications on their database. They take on 2.1% of applicants. This gives you an idea of the number of completely inexperienced wannabes who want a chance. Howere CTC also said they didn't advertise in the national press a) they simply couldn't deal with the massive response (BA made the mistake of advertising their cadet scheme in the national press once and recieved over 50 000 applications for 100 places. BMI once recieved 8000 for 12 places. I know this cause I wrote to them once a number of years ago.) and b) its too expensive.

CTC only advertise on the Internet, so you really have to be in touch with things like pprune or have a general interest aviation to find out. Basically you have to seek out the CTCMcAlpine scheme as they put it. Getting to the RHS in two years - what an opportunity.
