Mastercard offers digital and data apprenticeships to employees

Mastercard has launched new apprenticeships to help its employees learn new skills, improve career development opportunities, and support diversity across its business.

In brief:

-Mastercard is working with tech start-up Multiverse to deliver the courses

-Half of the employees taking the apprenticeships are aged over 40, reflecting the increasing demand for life-long learning and mid-career training.

-The course offers advanced part-time training to help apprentices get better at using data, whether that’s by learning how to analyse data sets, or using data to make better decisions.

What does this mean?

Kelly Devine, Division President, UK and Ireland at Mastercard, said: “Digital and data analytics skills are so important for our business, whether we’re using AI to detect fraud, designing the next generation of payments, or using data to solve problems. People often have preconceptions of apprenticeships, but half of our apprentices are experienced professionals, which shows how important it is to offer training and new skills at any age or life stage.”
