The existence of the University's main campus in Apple for anybody not a secret, but the details of the educational process in Cupertino had not explicitly covered. Today edition of The New York Times published an article in which the author spoke in detail about this "apple" project.
University of Apple - a very secretive institution, which rarely write. About him briefly mentioned in the biography of Steve Jobs, written by Walter Isaacson. Apple employees do not recommend to apply on the company, and classes at the university - is no exception.There is not even any photos from classes. Apple employees disclaim any official comments on this topic.
Jobs founded Apple University to instill in employees the business culture of corporations and tell them about the history of the company, in particular, on how the company has grown and changed technology business. Courses are not required, and their visit is a recommendation.Nevertheless besieged by people wishing to visit not.
The University operates on a full-time, during which the staff of teachers, writers and editors produces and presents workshops on a completely different topic. Interestingly, among the teachers listed as eminent professors from Yale, Harvard, the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford, and from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Many continue to retain jobs in these scientific "strongholds", while cooperating with the educational center of Apple.
As dean of the University of Apple takes the former rector of the Yale School of Business Joel Podolny. With the company from Cupertino Joel began full operation earlier this year, giving way to the former place of the Head of Personnel Management Apple Denise Young-Smith.
Under the direction of Podolnaya University provides training to improve skills, as well as courses for executives of large companies on their merger with Apple. One of the "witnesses" of training told The New York Times about one of these trainings.
"During the course," What Apple is doing now Apple »teacher Nelson cited the example of the difference between the two remotes for remote control Google TV and Apple TV. If at first you can see 78 different buttons, then on the "apple" - all three. Apple engineers have come to such an idea, the principle of "nothing more."So they put on the remote button "on / pause" for video, "search" to choose what to see, as well as the exit button in the main menu, "- said about the training of the participants.
Apparently, Apple continues to tell their employees about how the company has achieved unprecedented heights in such a short period of time. In addition, the University proves one important fact: the era of "post-Steve Jobs" is gaining momentum, creating a unique and revolutionary products.
