Junior Apprentice is a British reality television programme (reality television series) in which a group of ten young people, between the ages of 16 and 17, compete to win a �25,000 prize from the British business magnate Alan Sugar. The six-part series began on BBC One and BBC HD on Wednesday, 12 May 2010, concluding on Thursday, 10 June of the same year, and also featured Nick Hewer and Karren Brady as Sugars advisors. The programme concluded with Sugar awarding the prize fund to 17-year-old Arjun Rajyagor and Tim Ankers finished in second place.

Originally suggested in March 2008 and announced in June 2009, Junior Apprentice received mostly positive reviews from critics. The programme is a spin-off (Spin-off (media)) from the series The Apprentice (The Apprentice (UK TV series)), which was in turn spawned from an American series of the same name (The Apprentice (US TV Series)), which stars the entrepreneur Donald Trump. Sugars role under Gordon Browns government sparked a debate over the BBCs political impartiality (media balance) regulations in the run-up to the UK 2010 election, resulting in both Junior Apprentice and the sixth regular edition of The Apprentice being delayed.
