sussex trainnie

hi
I'm currently looking for a plumber in my local area around east sussex to train with, and to gain experience either on a paid or unpaid basis. but am having real difficuilty finding anyone. I know with the credit crunch that times are tight but i can't even give my services away for free. I've allready completed the following qualifications at college,

City and Guilds tech cert Level 3 Plumbing
City and Guilds tech cert Level 2 Plumbing
Bpec unvented certificate
Water regulations qualification
Energy efficiency qualification

I've also managed to get some on the job experience from changing and repairing taps, to cutting in a radiatior into an exsisting system. To helping install a new combi, condencing boiler and a new central heating system. I've replaced faulty flush and float operated values in toilets, I've serviced boilers, changed a gas values. I have also helped replace an open vented systen for a combi boiler.

but i can't find anyone to work with full time, and i need to complet the NVQ two then three. I've phoned through the phone book, sent e-mails to any company with a website, left CV's at the local plumbing merchants and am now lost for what to do.

If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
