How can i get an apprenticeship to become an Electrician?

I am asking this question to working Electricians in the UK, particularly in or around Newcastle, I have just left school at 17 as i wanted to pursue a career in the Army, but i am sadly unable to enlist due to a previous history of Asthma (too strict, in my opinion) I had thought about what careers interest me other than the army and an Electrician appealed to me the most, I have done research on becoming an Electirican and every suggestion starts off with getting an apprenticeship and also going to college through that apprenticeship, but i have no idea how i would go about getting an Apprenticeship and that is the question i would like answered, from a working Electrician preferably in Newcastle (as that is where i live) How would i go about finding somebody/ a company to bring me on as an apprentice?

If you look at the website below it's for Newcastle College on the front page there is a link for apprenticeship's. If you click on that it should give you the info you need. It is also worth giving them a ring to set up an appointment so that you can talk through the course you think is suitable.
