Pupils earn praise from business leaders
Our students have earned positive praise from Birmingham’s business leaders in the Community-Apprentice Pitching Challenge.
We have two teams entering the Community-Apprentice competition this year which is running in 15 schools across the city. Loosely based on the TV show The Apprentice, young people, working in teams, compete to develop, and crucially demonstrate, their skills whilst managing their own projects. But in this case, they compete not to see who can make the most money, but who can make the biggest positive impact on their community.
Turning ideas into action
Over the past few weeks the teams have been coming up with ideas and developing them into a practical plan. They have set a clear goal, identified relevant activities, allocated responsibilities, set deadlines, identified resources and produced a budget.
Team ‘BFF’ are planning to tackle the lack of support that exists for foster children by raising money for a local foster home by holding fundraising events such as a coffee morning and a talent show. Team ‘Slim Pancakes’ are planning to change attitudes towards obesity and promote healthy eating in young people by running a social media campaign, holding assemblies and doing workshops.
