This year Bill wants to give someone the opportunity to launch their idea under his mentorship, with a package worth €200,000 including €100,000 cash prize.

The next Apprentice could be a business novice who feels they have the next killer idea or a seasoned professional. Candidates hoping to be Bill Cullen’s next Apprentice will no longer be working for him and instead they will go into partnership with him in a new or existing business.

Bill is looking for enthusiastic, passionate individuals that will have the business acumen and skill to make their business a success be it a catering company, a marketing company or a digital online firm.

If you feel you have what it takes to enter Bill’s boardroom with the hope of becoming his business partner you can apply online at TV3.ie/theapprentice. Applications will close on Thursday 5^th May.
