In 2008, Apple had launched Apple University, with the sole motive to
teach Apple employees on how to think like Steve Jobs and take decisions
like him. The ultimate goal is to teach the executive team the thought
process to become the future leaders.
Apple University is not the
only educational initiative of Apple, there is also Apple University
Consortium, iTunes U and a special store developed specially for
students and educational institutions.
Apple University Consortium is a partnership between Apple Australia and a number of Australian universities. It works for about 37 member universities and associate members, including Australian National University, University of Melbourne and University of Queensland. It offers low cost technologies, grants and scholarships. Recently at the Worldwide Developer Conference, Steve Jobs said that they have plans to build a circular four story-high office building in the company's home town, Cupertino. This will hold around 12,000 employees and the campus will look like a 'spaceship.'
Describing the building, Steve said that it will be one of the best office buildings in the world and there will not be a single straight piece of glass in this building.
Moreover, they have plann
ed the architecture in such a way that in the middle of the circle
there will be a courtyard where the Apple's employee can meet and spend
their time during their breaks. The main cafe will be able to provide
food for 3,000 people at the same time
