Meanwhile, the Eagle and Sun pub in Droitwich is offering hospitality and catering training for the right applicant.

Our campaign, has already seen top names such as Bosch, Browns Restaurant and Oaklands International offer positions.

One of the businesses already on board is Worcester marketing agency Ninety-five Creative, which is offering an opportunity for a full-time business administration apprentice to join its growing team.

The company supplies marketing solutions for a range of local, national and international clients.

A spokesman said: “Although the role will initially have a business administration focus, the right candidate will be given the opportunity to develop the role to include a whole range of marketing tasks to support the marketing manager.

“They’ll be responsible for a variety of administrative duties, and manage a range of business systems. They’ll provide great customer service to our clients and you won’t be afraid to get stuck in and work with the team to make things happen.”
