Recognizing that the traditional college path isn’t working for all workers or even employers, CEO Euan Blair MBE in 2016 founded London-based Multiverse, which offers apprenticeship programmes in skills ranging from business operations to data science and software engineering. Valued at $1.7 billion in June 2022 during its series D funding round, Multiverse has partnered with more than 500 employers to train nearly 9,000 young adults and those looking to reskill. Blair previously had been UK CEO of the staffing and recruiting firm Sarina Russo Group. This year, Blair was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE, for services to education.
