Tony Blair’s son on his mission to dismantle his father’s education goals
Euan Blair wants to use his apprenticeships start-up Multiverse to dispel the belief that university degrees are needed to be successful

The very fact he talks so casually about Return on Investment is a clue that this Blair is not a politician but a businessman – an entrepreneur in fact, co-founder of the apprenticeships start-up Multiverse, previously known as Whitehat.
