 to utilize machine learning for equitable talent matching

Today we’re delighted to announce a new partnership with AdeptID, the leading provider of talent matching software for the workforce without college degrees. Together we’ll use their machine learning models to scale up and optimize our processes for matching apprentices with employers.

At Multiverse, we’re obsessed by two things: equitable hiring and data-driven decision making. They are essential to delivering our mission of creating a diverse group of future leaders and this new partnership will help us make progress on both of them.

We fundamentally believe there is no link between academic achievement and job performance. In the US, degree requirements in job ads screen out 67% of black Americans and 79% of Hispanic Americans. Talent is everywhere but opportunity often is not.

Our belief has always been that the things that actually correlate to job performance are around character, grit, conscientiousness and willingness to learn. Too often grades are a function of how good someone’s school was rather than their actual potential.

We built our model of matching apprentices to employers to include that more inclusive definition of potential. Our work with 

 will help us to put new layers of data analysis behind the model.

So far we’ve placed thousands of apprentices in their first roles. They are hugely talented, and come from a 

. Getting to tens of thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands, will require a larger scale. AdeptID’s technology helps us set up a “feedback loop” so that we are continuously learning from these placement outcomes to make better recommendations.

The team at AdeptID brings a rigorous and responsible approach to machine learning to help identify talent in those without college degrees. Most importantly, they align totally to our mission. Learn more about their approach here.

We’re excited for what we get to do together.

As new technologies emerge and old ones become obsolete, tech jobs—and the careers of professional technologists—evolve. Documenting your career path in such a dynamic industry can be a challenge. Thankfully, making a career progression framework can help you chart your professional journey in tech.

Charting a Career Progression Framework in Tech 

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we hosted an internal panel discussion titled “The Trailblazing Women of Multiverse.” The panel discussion aimed to shed light on the unique challenges that women confront in their professional fields and present potential solutions to overcome them.

Imagine yourself learning a new language from a book. After a few weeks, you realize that you’re having trouble remembering the words and phrases that you’ve read. Rather than feeling discouraged, you take a moment to reflect on the effectiveness of your approach to learning. You realize that simply reading and re-reading isn’t helping you remember what you’re learning. 

The Power of Metacognition: Elevating Learning at Multiverse

We know effective learning hinges on feedback (Hattie & Temperley, 2007). Yet, it is time consuming, requires the right expertise and needs to be timely in order to work. At Multiverse, we have investigated how to use AI to tackle these challenges and evaluate whether AI feedback is as effective as traditional models. 

The Impact of AI Feedback in Applied Learning

At Multiverse, our Workforce Diagnostics team has developed an individual differences approach to assessing learners. In particular, they have defined and are now able to measure the attributes that will be most impactful on 

how effectively they might learn and apply that learning. 

This overall collection of attributes is defined as Learning Agility.

Learning Agility: A New Model of Learning Potential

Learning is more important than ever; particularly on-the-job upskilling and reskilling. According to the World Economic Forum, 1.1 billion jobs are likely to be disrupted or transformed by technology by 2030. Leaders must stay ahead of the change curve and ensure their human capital is armed with the skills of tomorrow. As a learning provider we see it as our responsibility to support leaders with this challenge, but we’re only as good as the learning experiences we provide.

MAGE: Driving Learning Effectiveness at Multiverse

In early educational research, the theory of behaviorism was highly influential in understanding how people learn. One prominent psychologist who promoted behaviourism, was B.F. Skinner. He believed that learners must be actively engaged and rewarded immediately to reinforce their activity. One of his most famous experiments was using this type of “reward learning” to teach pigeons how to play ping pong. However, can we reliably compare human learning behaviour to pigeons?
