Have you considered talking to the local VOTEC/BOCES IT programs and sponsor an internship? Good way to test drive a kid and see what they are made of and what they know. IF they are a good fit you offer them a job when they graduate, if they don’t work out it’s no skin off your back other than some training time alongside an existing employee.
Our local VOTEC/BOCES program gives kids the chance to get all kinds of network certifications, so much so that an ambitious kid can come out of high school and be just as far as a person going to a 2 year school after high school. One kid I knew was told that by the college he was thinking about attending. The school told him he would be bored because he already had the certs they would be teaching towards. If you can find a kid who already has or will be testing for these certs, they have already demonstrated some of their ambition and work ethic.
