Long shot here — Federal Communications Commission / General Radio Operator's License?
One suggestion — If you can’t break directly into the trade for lack of experience, you might try getting a job at an electrical-wholesaler counter. Learning specific terminology, sizes and features related to electrical materials will partially substitute for not having hands-on construction or maintenance experience. Study the pile of catalogs that are used there. Many manufacturers publish materials that are good for orientation of terminology and ‘how it all fits together.’ Manufacturer’s reps and electricians often come through and they may know of contacts or openings if you pay attention and show interest.
You have to put yourself a notch or three above the competition, and that may be one way to do it.
