The Edinburgh Apprentice Competition
The Edinburgh Apprentice is a student competition similar to the TV programme, “The Apprentice”. It is open to students from all four universities in Edinburgh. No previous experience or business idea is required. As well as having fun, winning prizes and networking with top companies and like-minded students, The Edinburgh Apprentice is also a fantastic thing to put on your CV and talk about at interviews. Taking part in the competition will develop your business awareness, team-work, problem solving, time management, creativity, presentation skills and many more!
This year's competition is designed by Edinburgh University’s iCue society in collaboration with various sponsors to ensure competitors develop skills and gain knowledge that accredited companies are looking for in graduate employees. As competitors progress through the competition, judges from the sponsoring companies will have the opportunity to network and communicate with competitors. This is a great opportunity for companies to express interest in exceptional candidates and for competitors to show their skills. The Edinburgh Apprentice not only gives students a platform of recognition to top companies but also gives students the opportunity to develop real-life, practical business abilities.
