UKTN | The Podcast

Euan Blair, CEO of Multiverse, discusses the role that apprenticeships can play in the future of work, the impact of AI on skills, and the challenges of breaking into the US market.  

Blair founded Multiverse in 2016. The edtech company’s focus is on matching diverse talent from a range of backgrounds with upskilling opportunities. It has trained over 10,000 apprentices in partnership with more than 1,000 global employers. While the company reached a unicorn valuation in 2022, it is yet to achieve profitability. In 2021, the London-headquartered launched in the US. Multiverse recently scaled back its US workforce after the business missed revenue targets. Blair, who is the eldest son of former British prime minister Tony Blair, was awarded an MBE for services to education in 2022.
