AI skills should be accessible to everyone - not limited to London tech hubs and junior programmers.
Recent Multiverse analysis of more than 2,500 people on AI apprenticeship programmes shows that over two-thirds are not in roles traditionally associated with tech. With AI learners with job titles like nurses, fundraisers, librarians and supply chain managers, we are helping to forge a new definition of ‘AI talent’.
This is the fifth piece in our series hearing from Multiverse's AI apprentices, based in varied jobs around the country. These learners are part of this emerging class of AI jobs - the 'invisible' AI workforce.
Birmingham is one of the top ten AI talent hotspots outside of London, according to our analysis of our 2,500+ strong AI apprentice base.
Read on to hear more about Birmingham-based startup employee Baljinder’s story.
Reducing stock waste at a nutrition company
For a growing nutrition business like Rem3dy Health, effective inventory management is critical, but a commercial ERP system can cost upwards of £70,000. Baljinder Singh, then a stock controller, was spending a full day each week manually tracking stock and updating spreadsheets.
Using skills from his AI apprenticeship, he designed and built a custom AI-powered dashboard that automates the entire process, creating a single, real-time view of all inventory. This has eliminated eight hours of manual work per week, improved accuracy, and reduced waste by providing a clearer picture of expiring stock.
Now Head of Supply Chain, a promotion earned through his initiative, Baljinder is expanding the project into a predictive tool that will function like a bespoke ERP system, saving the company tens of thousands of pounds and revolutionising its supply chain management.
