How to be a CEO podcast: Euan Blair on why you don’t need a university degree to get a top job

This week on How to be a CEO we’re joined by Euan Blair.

Euan Blair’s company Multiverse offers apprenticeships as an alternative to university, and has been valued at $875 million dollars.

The son of former prime minister Tony Blair has built a vast multinational firm that’s disrupting how companies such as Morgan Stanley and Microsoft source - and retain - their 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In this episode we talk about how universities control access to the top jobs, why views on apprenticeships are outdated in a world where they can be offered to data analysts and software engineers. Plus, challenging cultural views that only universities can lead to success.
