The logistics leader partners with Multiverse to equip non-technical staff with essential AI and data literacy.
Ahead of National Apprenticeship Week, the UK’s premier parcel delivery company, the Evri Group, has announced the launch of a new apprenticeship scheme in partnership with leading upskilling platform Multiverse. Starting in February, the scheme is designed to strengthen data and AI skills across its workforce.
More than 90 team members from various departments will join one of four dedicated pilot programmes that comprise the Evri Group’s newly launched AI and Data Academies. The two academies, which offer both level 3 and level 4 courses, are aimed at those who don’t currently work in AI and data, but who want to build practical, career-enhancing skills in these fast-growing areas.
Learners will gain hands-on skills through Multiverse’s applied learning model, culminating in a final assessment. Those who successfully complete the course will achieve a recognised apprenticeship L3 or L4 qualification in their chosen specialism, equipping them with new skills and knowledge in these areas to apply within their current role.
Lyn Warren, Chief HR Officer at Evri, said: “I'm delighted that we’ve been able to offer these fantastic programmes through our partnership with Multiverse. At Evri, continuous learning and development is a core part of who we are, and we’re committed to giving colleagues every opportunity to grow, build new skills and progress in their careers.
“With AI and data playing an increasingly important role across our industry, this is a fantastic chance for colleagues outside of traditional tech and data roles to gain practical, future-focused skills that can make a real difference in their current roles and beyond.”
Gary Eimerman, Chief Learning Officer at Multiverse, said: “AI and data are no longer just tools for tech teams: they are the fundamental building blocks of the modern workplace. By launching these academies, Evri is staying ahead of the curve and ensuring its workforce is equipped for the future of logistics. We are proud to partner with a forward-thinking brand that recognizes that the best way to drive innovation is to invest directly in the people who know the business best.”
