Apple University is a training facility of Apple Inc., located in Cupertino, California. This corporate university was designed to instruct personnel employed by Apple in the various aspects of Apple's technology and corporate culture. ==History== Steve Jobs established Apple University in 2008 as a way to inculcate employees into Apple’s business culture and educate them about its history, particularly as the company grew. The program was devised by Joel Podolny, then the dean of Yale School of Management. Mr. Jobs selected him when the program was founded, and he remains head of the program and effectively serves as dean of the university. He is a vice president at Apple.〔〔http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/11/technology/-inside-apples-internal-training-program-.html New York Times〕 Courses are not required, only recommended. Employees sign up for courses tailored to their positions and backgrounds on an internal website available only to Apple staff members. It is highly secretive 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Apple University: where employees are not born, but made )〕 and rarely written about.〔 Employees are strongly discouraged from talking about the company in general, including Apple University. No pictures of the classrooms have surfaced publicly. Apple has strenuously pursued the vision that function and beauty come from simplicity,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Apple University preaches mantra of simplicity to employees )〕 and teachers in its internal training program sometimes point to a collection of Picasso lithographs that illustrate the drive to boil down ideas to their most essential components. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apple University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
