Apprentice Runner up Visits Doncaster

Apprentice Runner Up Kristina Grimes visits Doncaster

Kristina Grimes, runner-up of the third series of The Apprentice, has visited Doncaster College to look at its innovative Enterprise College project.

The College, with Enterprise Ambassadors in each Academy and Department area, is developing a unique business and enterprise programme for young people that engage the basic skills required to start and develop a business, teaching transferrable and personal development skills.

Kristina visited the College’s Hub and High Melton campuses in April and is now helping with ideas that will bring enterprise and business to the forefront of students’ learning experiences.

As well as meeting with the Enterprise College management team, Kristina also visited most vocational study areas across the College and was impressed by the work currently being undertaken.

Enterprise College Project Manager Jayne Robinson said: “Kristina, the team and I are looking to develop a programme that engages everyone in the philosophy of business, focusing on developing their motivation, inspiration, courage, enterprise and resource awareness.

“This will furnish the learner with real business ideas, abilities and opportunities to take into their future life.”

Kristina plans to revisit the College in the coming weeks.
