Apply* to everyone you would like to work for, and don't be hesitant about updating your resume and interest. *In person first time if you can get there.
Be prepared to start. Have a think about doing the course part time but make it a goal you must get. If you can handle the study, look post graduate.
The present system is gearing towards bigger AME numbers. Once you've completed your apprenticeship, you can move around and progress to where you want to go. An MRO, an airline, regional airline, GA, helicopters......mechanical, avionics, technical services, quality.......
The number of management positions now done by tradesmen with tertiary qualifications is increasing noticeably. Technical services is the same, more so overseas.
Earn just enough to survive first 3 or so years and after that it rises to decent money eventually.
Good luck with it.
Post it if you get a start
