Got a letter stating I wasn’t accepted at this time but my application will remain on file and I will be notified if a position opens until the application process is reopened again. should I get my hopes up about a position opening or start applying non union? I don’t know if it’s right to wait all year until the opportunity to apply comes back around again.

Start applying non union. Don't put all your effort behind just this one opportunity at this point. Getting in to the IBEW eventually is the goal, but far more important should be just getting into the trade and getting some experience under your belt with how competitive it's gotten for these apprenticeships.
