Many companies have training programs for their employees, but Apple looks at its program from another angle. At Apple University, employees learn a lot about the customs and traditions of Apple and about the history of the company and among its courses "How to think like Apple."
Apple is one of the most innovative companies in the history of technology, we always see its own character in everything. In order for Apple founder "Steve Jobs" to maintain this character, he established Apple University in 2008 with the aim of directing new employees in the Apple world and teaching them many of the lessons that Jobs learned in his life. However, it should be noted that enrolling at Apple University is optional and recommended for new employees, but it is not compulsory for them.
Apple University operates in complete secrecy and does not know many details about it, as its employees are not allowed to talk about company news in general, especially Apple University, and Apple also does not publish photos of the university.
Apple University Tutorials
At Apple University, employees do not learn "programming" or "business management". Apple employees are trained in advance and have these skills before they are hired, but at Apple University, employees learn about the customs, traditions and history of the company and how to make correct decisions. Among the university's lessons, "What makes an Apple, an Apple ?!" In this lesson, Apple compared the Google TV remote, which had 78 buttons, with the Apple TV remote, which contains only 3 buttons. When starting to manufacture the remote, Apple employees thought about it, discussed the idea, and then decided to keep the buttons they only needed, the button Off and on, button for Choose something to watch, and button to return to the main menu. Apple employees strive to simplify every product they make and that's what makes Apple, the Apple!
Some of the lessons taught at the university are from the artist Picasso's drawings, which contain a bull, in early times the bull had a nose, shoulders, legs and hooves, and over the ages all these things differed, but you can still distinguish that it is a bull!
And this is what happened with the Apple mouse
Other lessons are taught to employees, which consist of studying cases that occurred previously with Apple and how they made the decision, as happened when they thought about launching a version of iTunes compatible with Windows - when it was only intended for the iPod - which created violent discussions among company officials. In the beginning, Steve Jobs completely opposed the decision, and at the other, was satisfied with the decision, which generated billions for the company and contributed to the success of the iPhone.
Also, Apple dedicates a large part of the university to the companies that have acquired it and in it employees learn lessons such as "How to mix your resources with the resources and talents of Apple" and one of the attendees were Beats employees and founders such as Dr. Dre and Jimmy Lovin.
"The best things" is one of the lessons offered by the university, in which students learn to surround themselves with the best things such as talented people and high-quality resources. With this idea you can learn easily and you can reveal the best things that people have made. Picasso says, "Good artists imitate The great steal.
Dean of Apple University
When Steve Jobs founded Apple University, he wanted to bring in the best experts in education. In 2008, Steve Jobs hired Joel Bodoli, who was previously the dean of the School of Management at Yale University, and Yale University for those who did not know it, as it is one of the top 15 universities in the world and this demonstrates the strength of its colleges. And distinguish it. Joel is known for being a creative man who is able to manage the educational process in a distinguished way and to provide exceptional matters, and this is what made Jobs choose him according to press sources.
It is noteworthy that Apple University takes the headquarters of the company as its headquarters, and there were news about the opening of a branch in China two years ago without assurances that this matter would happen or not.
Did you imagine that Apple has its own university? What do you think is the most distinctive feature of Apple?

They do not apply the Arab proverb, you, and it is not all good
Is it really a university in what the word means?
Thank you very much
Mumtaz Maher Annaba Thank you
Of course I did not imagine, even if I thought that Apple in itself is a university
👍👍👍👍👍
But how did they open? For the first time I heard about Apple at university
Oooo very nice
Lovely
The first time I hear about Apple University
I also
Frankly, I did not know that Apple has a university, but I was not surprised, as the senior must remain great and this is Apple's policy that always wants leadership, and this will only happen with science and hard work, as Apple did
Where is the big one and where is the leadership? My brother Omar .. Samsung surpassed Apple in its home country in America and achieved higher sales income in the last results of the second quarter of XNUMX as well as in other countries ..
Many companies have produced better devices than Apple devices over the past year, with higher specifications and features that are not available in the latest iPhone, such as the fast charging feature, the wireless charging feature, better battery life, better camera quality, better screen quality, waterproofing, and other features. So where is the leadership and where is the big one? My regards.
This is the first time that I know that Apple has a university. I wouldn’t have imagined this
ممتاز
Wonderful topic
Of course I did not imagine that. I wish I would be in it. If he offered me to work as an office boy at the headquarters of Apple design and as an executive director in the largest international Arab company, I would choose to serve tea in the Apple design department because I do not like positions, but it is my habit to choose less and a guest and after 3 months or so 6 months I am with the CEO. This is what happens with me in every organization I am in because I do not search for the position as much as I search to put something for me in the organization. I am sad because the end of Apple is near because the public has lost a sense of the possibility of creating or updating Apple for something new impressive because innovation It is no longer difficult to implement and ideas become similar because the world of innovation entered into trade and out of the passion for renewing human life, but this trade that competing companies transformed into Apple is a global method of work, and for this method to die, the world must find a renewal of technology.
This is your ambition. An engineer !?
We await the University of Apple, the Apple car, the Apple Garden, the city of Apple, and every beginning of an end.
Hi
1) I never imagined that Label would be such an inclusive. Yes, I imagined that Apple would establish an educational institution for its software and be its employees.
2) The most amazing thing that struck me is its high interest in quality - and in everything - so it chooses the best company manager, the best expert, the best and the best ... Which indicates its focus on quality.
3) The article contains typographical errors, please avoid them 😋😋😋😋
Thank you for your distinguished topics always, but as for the University of Apple, I think and my personal opinion that this university is nothing but a media and propaganda procedure, nothing more. Likewise, creativity recedes in it, if we do not say its complete lack there is nothing new, nothing dazzling, and nothing special, and they are still living on the glow of previous successes that they achieved several years ago ... I hope that Apple will wake up from its deep slumber and return to its predecessor its glory and join the ranks of technical excellence and lead it as we have known before. Thank you once. Other
A nice topic to be honest, I did not imagine that there is no private university in it, but now I started to expect anything from this company because their thinking has reached as far as possible limits I can imagine
I hope to visit the university and see for myself the lessons and abilities of Apple
With my wishes for more progress for them and you, Yazamen
Did you know that if Arabs only did not buy Apple products, did not browse Facebook and Twitter, and did not search on Google, the American economy would have fallen without wars?
Stop dreaming, Professor. The Arabs are one of dozens of nations, and the least knowledgeable nation. The total number of Arab technology pioneers is not equal to half of the population of America alone.
That is why I tell you how much from the dream you are in it
Weird and strange ideas
The first time I know of you
I did not know that Apple has a university until now, but I was not surprised much because a company like Apple is moving at a well-studied pace and working for what others have not thought of.
Apple is a giant of its day, a respectable company and a respectable product
