Apprentice Star Goes Back to College

As part of its diverse enrichment programme for students, Stourbridge College is putting the spotlight on raising aspirations by securing high profile speaker, Claire Young from the popular BBC Apprentice programme.

Mozz Baker, Stourbridge College’s Head of Tutorial & Learner Voice, said: “Claire is a straight talking, no nonsense business woman who reached the final of series 4 of The Apprentice in 2008 watched by over 11 million viewers. She is passionate about promoting entrepreneurship and enterprise, works hands on in schools and hopes that her story will motivate students to realise that with hard work, drive and determination anything is possible.”

Claire, 32, will be making two appearances at the college’s Hagley Road Centre and one appearance at the Advanced Technology Centre in Brierley Hill later this month. Her presentations for students will be geared towards inspiring them to reach their potential.

A regular presenter for GMTV, Claire has discussed business, employment and redundancy issues on Sky News and ITN, has become an established public speaker and even started writing her own book. Claire writes a weekly newspaper column and contributes to a number of magazines.
