Apprentice star works on getting city students into jobs

Apprentice star Katie Hopkins will be holding a two-day workshop at Telford College to help students build confidence and employability skills.

The workshop will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday and is designed to help learners practise key skills for the workplace that will make them more employable, including teamwork, problem-solving, leadership and presentation.

Ms Hopkins said: "It's all about ensuring top jobs go to Telford learners.

"Getting a great job must be one of your top priorities and this two-day workshop is designed to help learners to do exactly that.

"We will discuss the things that employers have said are important to them - and then work together to deliver on these when you walk into your interview to secure your perfect job.

"We will look at brands learners love and see what it is that learners love about them, then we will look at brand 'you' and understand what matters to learners and why, and how, learners go about putting this very unique brand 'you' on the market.

"If Telford learners have ever wanted to be on The Apprentice, then this is an opportunity not to be missed.

"The end of the two-day workshop will climax with an energetic Apprentice-style challenge - working in teams to launch a new product to market and come up with great ideas to make it a success."
