Highlights include a jobs fair hosted by East Worthing and Shoreham MP Tim Loughton, a Business Showcase event and a roadshow to support new start-up companies.

Tina Tilley, chief executive of the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce, said: “21 Days is a new initiative to encourage and promote apprenticeships, community interaction and voluntary groups and business support, culminating in a showcase of the successes of the area.

“There is a number of events being hosted and it is an excellent opportunity to celebrate businesses and organisations, raising awareness and providing support at the same time.”

The campaign begins with National Apprenticeships Week, with activities led by Northbrook College.
