Euan Blair’s company Multiverse, which offers apprenticeships as an alternative to University, has been valued at $875 million. The son of former PM Tony Blair has built an enormous, multinational, firm that’s disrupting how companies like Morgan Stanley and Microsoft are finding, and keeping, the best staff. 


In this episode we talk about:


  • How universities control access to the top jobs 
  • Why views on apprenticeships are outdated in a world where they can be offered to data analysts and software engineers. 
  • Challenging cultural views that only universities can lead to success.
