The Final for 2010

The Final for 2010 took place in Plymouth City Centre over 2 days in June.

42 finalists from 12 schools arrived at the University of Plymouth at 7.30 a.m. on the first day, eager to find out what was in store for them!

Two entirely different challenges were set by Langage Farm and Frontline Image in which the 17 year olds, after being placed into teams, were asked, to devise a new and unique ice-cream flavour and to come up with their own original designs for T-shirts. They were also tasked with going out to designated business areas to secure orders for their ice creams. The competition hotted up on the second day when the teams manned their own stalls at locations around the city centre and utilised their skills to sell their products and pitch to a Dragons Den style panel.

Despite being a slightly overcast day (which might have slowed down ice cream sales) each team was successful in making a profit and as a result six chosen charities received £200 each.

The day ended with an inspirational guest speaker, Sally Hurst, from The Old Bag Company and the Awards Presentation at which the winners were announced.

2008 Final

The 2008 You’re Hired! final started at 6.30 a.m. with the contestants arriving at the Plymouth Guildhall. There, they were put into six teams of five by Jan and Nicky from Tamar Education Business Partnership.

Last year there were five schools taking part – Lipson Community College, Estover Community College, St Boniface’s Roman Catholic Boys’ School, Plymouth High School for Girls and Devonport High School for Girls - so each team was made up of five pupils from five different schools. Being able to establish a working team with people they have never met before was very much part of the challenge for the contestants. Each team was then packed off in a taxi to a mystery destination…

Ellie at The Range… which was the Plymstock branch of The Range. There, they were introduced to the first of the two challenges by Plymouth’s own version of Sir Alan Sugar, Chris Dawson. This retail challenge started with buying stock from The Range (at a discount) which they then had to sell to the general public from stalls in and just outside Plymouth’s Pannier Market.

As a retail tycoon who started out as a market trader, could we have had a better person to set this challenge than Chris Dawson?

After Chris’s pep talk, the contestants were whisked straight back to the Guildhall and the introduction to the second challenge. This was set by Mike Fisher, an architect at Bailey Partnership, one of our sponsoring employers. The task was to design a landmark building for the Millbay regeneration area. How the teams divided themselves between the two tasks was left entirely up to them. Those taking part in the retail challenge would have gone from the Guildhall to the Pannier Market, where they found their stock already delivered courtesy of vans provided by Mitie and Cowlin Construction.

Pannier Market

The market traders finished trading at 3.00 p.m., then packed up their stalls and made their way back to the Guildhall. Back at the Guildhall, the contestants doing the building design presented their building designs and concepts to the judges from 3.00pm.

Then the serious debating began among the judges. There was an overall winner (“Plymouth’s Best Future Employee 2008″) and a runner-up, and each sponsoring employer gave their own awards.

As well as the title, some really good CV points and a trophy, the overall winner received a prize of two months of paid work experience with the sponsoring employer of their choice.
