EY’s new Masters course was developed in collaboration with Hult International Business School and aims to develop EY employees’ understanding of AI and to help them learn new, technology-driven ways of working. The program is the latest example of how EY is working to retrain its workforce as the world of work continues to digitize rapidly after the pandemic.

The program focuses on helping EY employees develop the mindset and skills to navigate new ways of working, with all learning taking place entirely online – with the first graduates announced in early 2021.
