This resource is a spreadsheet that can be used to create a competition for this year's The Apprentice. Each week students predict who they think will be the final two candidates. Points are calculated each week depending on whether their predicted candidates are in the winning team, losing team or the boardroom. Students can swap their predictions, although this will cost them points! A leader board is included to show the current winner each week. Running this league is good for generating discussion around business skills, how candidates handle the tasks and to encourage students to watch the show! Full instructions on how to use the spreadsheet are included.

This resource introduces the concept of needs vs wants by students sorting the importance of items via a set of cards. Students will then think about how organisations differentiate their goods or services and create a 'pitch' for it e.g. one electricity business pitching against another - how can the business encourage customers? This activity (and set of cards) can also be used to discuss private sector vs public sector and the concept of opportunity cost (what items would they give up?). The activity can be used across a range of levels - KS3, GCSE or A-level. Clearly, the depth of discussion will differ.
