Professional services firm KPMG UK is partnering with upskilling platform Multiverse to launch a major AI training programme, targeting 134 employees ranging from early-career staff up to partners in the Advisory business. The initiative aims to rapidly build widespread digital literacy and integrate AI expertise across the firm, driving improved client service delivery and the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence tools.
The training will enrol participants in Multiverse’s Level 4 AI for Business Value programme, which culminates in a formal qualification. The curriculum focuses on teaching learners how to use AI strategically, identify new revenue streams, and craft responsible implementation roadmaps for clients navigating their own AI transformation journeys.
Embedding AI literacy
Recognising the enormous opportunity presented by AI adoption across both the public and private sectors, KPMG UK is positioning itself to stay ahead of the curve. The programme is designed to equip employees at all levels with the knowledge to make strategic, data and AI-informed decisions.
Lisa Fernihough, head of advisory at KPMG UK, commented on the significance of the firm-wide approach, explaining that the potential for AI to transform the industry is exciting, both in how they deliver services and how they help shape what clients are doing. She added that by offering this enhanced training, their people have the chance to develop AI skills and receive a formal qualification that showcases their expertise in the emerging AI space, helping the firm remain ahead in innovation and consultancy services.
Driving efficiency and value
Multiverse, which has trained over 20,000 apprentices in AI, data, and digital skills, is delivering personalised, on-the-job learning. The focus on applied learning means employees will immediately apply their new skills to their existing roles, resulting in tangible business outcomes.
Gary Eimerman, chief learning officer at Multiverse, added that by embracing increased AI capabilities from junior to senior levels, employees are better equipped to provide informed AI-focused services. He also noted that the internal deployment of AI tools facilitated by this upskilling will save hours of time spent on manual tasks, reflecting KPMG UK’s foundation of strategic business transformation for its customers and its own internal development.
