Airframe and power plant jobs.?

Question

I have my A&P and work at a recip engine shop. This isn't what I want to do. I would like to make the transition to bigger airplanes, but do not have enough experience to go to an airline. Do any MRO offer apprenticeships? I saw Lufthansa Tecknik offered an apprenticeship, but I don't know how I could get in there and If I could move to Germany. I am willing to move to some places, but not the middle east :) or the midwest of the USA. I live in Arizona and there is a pretty stable aviation market here, but it is hard to gain experience. I am just looking for info on furthering my a&p career.

Answer 2

My co-A&P, why not try Singapore or first, it's sister companies there in Mobile, Alabama and San Antonio, the ST Aerospace Engineering. Had a friend there who was a component mechanic, there he does flight control surface rigging. after the experience and knowledge, he is now in Line working for an airline.
