I just talked to a great kid who is looking for a family-oriented independent shop near his home in North Florida.
He is about 45 minutes from Gainesville, 1.5 from Tallahassee and 1.5 from Jacksonville.
He has a young family so he isn't looking at relocating right now but he is investing in his tools and education and is very respectful. He is committed to the industry and is hungry to learn and gain skills.
If you are in North Florida and have an apprenticeship program where you can match this kid up with a senior tech, I'd snap him up in a minute.
Let me know if you know someone who might be inserted.
