The Apprentice in Forest Heath

STUDENTS will be presenting their ideas to make Mildenhall attractive to businesses and visitors as The Apprentice comes to Forest Heath.
The aim of the day, being led by Forest Heath District Council, is for students to present realistic and practical projects to enhance Mildenhall in the eyes of businesses in the tourism, retail and manufacturing sectors.
The event, on July 6 at Mildenhall College of Technology, aims to minimise the divide between employer expectation and student skills and knowledge as well as encouraging entrepreneurship.
The projects will be judged and commented on by a panel of experts from Forest Heath District Council, Business Link East, the Chamber of Commerce and local business.
The students will be mentored by representatives from business, tourism and key commercial organisations.
This is a pilot event and over 100 students aged between 16 and 18 are expected to take part.
This is an initiative led by Forest Heath District Council, with partners from Business Link East, Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, Business in the Community, and local schools.
