4. 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.
