Popular BBC show gets spin-off
Friday, 22 May 2009
Sir Alan Sugar is launching a new version of The Apprentice for teenagers.
The tycoon is looking for a group of 10 boys and girls, aged 16 and 17, to become his first Junior Apprentice.
The winner will get a prize worth £25,000.
‘It is my long held belief that we should be doing more to promote enterprise amongst young people, as the future of our economy relies on them,’ Sir Alan, 62, tells the BBC.
‘I passionately believe that the key to business success lies in hard work and common sense and that we should encourage our young people as much as possible.’
Junior Apprentice will air as a 5-part series on BBC One next year.
Trainee stockbroker Ben Clarke, 22, was the latest contestant to be axed on The Apprentice on Wednesday night's show.
