Student Apprentice

Designed to mimic the BBC television, the contestants compete in tough business tasks facing the judging each week in the board room to see who is fired and who will be continuing in the competition!

Like most events, the Student Apprentice was held in prestigious University areas such as the pictured senate room.

There were over 100 Applicants, with 10 Contestants and 1 Winner who walked away with £500 and an Internship. This year, the internship will be given by a judge from a company as part of our Main Partner sponsorship deal.

Each event is filmed to increase the pressure, and to create promotional material.
