The businessman has confirmed his appearance for another two runs of the BBC reality series.
With the application process for the upcoming ninth series underway, Lord Sugar tweeted that he hoped to see more women in the business end of the competition.
"Application still open for The Apprentice. Come on, ladies, show me what you can do, not just the blokes," he wrote.
The series nine application process finishes on Sunday, with interviews set to be held in August in London, Manchester and Birmingham.
The last two series of The Apprentice have been won by male candidates, with this year's run seeing men dominate the final, with four males out of the final five.
Three female candidates have won the show so far, with Ricky Martin becoming Lord Sugar's latest business partner in June.
