Skanska UK has partnered with Multiverse to develop data skills across the business with a new AI offering and expansion of its existing Data Academy. These programmes are critical to driving up productivity and ensuring that projects are consistently completed on time, within budget, and to the specified quality standards our customers expect.
Sally Scott, Director of Talent and Capability at Skanska UK, said: “Through this partnership we are equipping our people with the knowledge and skills to ensure our projects deliver on time and to cost and quality expectations, making faster, data informed decisions. Our Data apprenticeships are now joined by a new AI apprenticeship, enabling more colleagues the opportunity to upskill.”
The training is being delivered by Multiverse, a tech company that identifies, closes and prevents skills gaps, through personalised, on-the-job learning. Multiverse has trained more than 16,000 apprentices in AI, data and digital skills since 2016.
The expanded Academy offers programmes such as the Level 3 apprenticeship ‘Data & insights for business decisions’, covering core technical skills including cleaning, formatting and preparing data. The Level 4 ‘Data fellowship’ lays the foundation for apprentices to become high-performing analysts and data science professionals.
