These Data & AI qualifications will enable staff to gain valuable skills, working on projects directly related to their roles and areas to make improvements and bring efficiencies to their team, as well as enhancing their own professional career development.

The qualifications are made of different modules. During each module, learners will complete a hands-on project using their newly learned skills. Each project is intentionally crafted to align with their role, University of Bath's tools, and development level - ensuring every project creates real-world value.

The direct connection between learning and application makes skill development meaningful. By tackling challenges relevant to the University, apprentices demonstrate capability growth while delivering tangible business outcomes.

Projects are broken down into tasks that map to the specific knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) a learner requires in their role. This means each learner can track their growth as they progress through the project and receive feedback on each completed task.

To identify these projects, Multiverse will meet with the stakeholders to understand each area's goals and challenges. Learners will also highlight project examples as part of their application process to ensure they are suited for the programme they are applying for.

Role of the line manager

The role of the line manager is crucial for ensuring a positive and successful experience for our Data & AI apprentices. Managers will be supporting apprentices to protect time for their study, be part of the onboarding process and participate in quarterly progress reviews, as well as providing feedback to Multiverse. There is an open line of communication between managers and the Multiverse apprentice coach, to ensure that both managers and apprentices are fully supported throughout the qualification.
