The BBC launch a teenage version of The Apprentice in 2010, in which Sir Alan Sugar will point his finger and tell 16- and 17-year-olds "You're fired!"
Junior Apprentice, which will comprise five episodes and be screened on BBC One. There will be 10 candidates. They will undertake a variety of business tasks to test their entrepreneurial skills, with two teams competing each week. The losing team will end up in the boardroom and the project manager will have to choose two people to join them in the firing line.
The winner will not claim a job with Sir Alan Sugar but win a prize worth up to £25,000.
