Apply for part time work at tire stores or oil change stores. You will gain a lot of experience. You should be able to do that while participating in a training program. Another route would be to enter an apprentice program.

Melody’s Answer
I'm not a mechanic, and the answers shown above were great, but I'd like to mention a couple things.
If you are still living at home, or if you are financially stable on your own, OFFER TO WORK FOR FREE. Give your services to a company in exchange for the knowledge you will receive instead of payment. It is the easiest way to get in the door of a place/ learn the ropes, and is widely overlooked by American culture.
Also, there are online certifications for pretty much anything in the world. Look for anything remotely mechanic-related and try to become certified. If you have a resume, make sure to include all your certifications (and if you don't have a resume, this would be a great reason to make one!)
Melody's Summary:
1) Offer services for free in exchange for knowledge
2) Search for online certifications to complete in related industry
Hope this helps!
