One-off workshop: You're Fired!

This one-off workshop is perfect for students in Key Stage 3 and above. Before starting, it’s useful to ask students whether they have watched The Apprentice on TV. If not, they might want to watch an episode to be introduced to the show’s main concepts. Begin by talking about the different elements of the show:

Ask for volunteers to take the roles of Lord Sugar’s two aides during this workshop.

Working in groups of three to four, students decide on a name and character for the contestant they are going to play, trying this out with the members of their group by interacting with each other’s characters. Next, each student comes forward one at a time, introducing themselves to the class and telling us a bit about themselves: their name, age, current job, why they want to be Lord Sugar’s next apprentice etc.
