Earlier this year, Apple launched its first Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit. The academy is designed to offer free training in “smart manufacturing” for small and medium businesses from around the country, and was started in partnership with Michigan State University.
Today, Apple announced the first-ever virtual programming as part of the Apple Manufacturing Academy.
The Apple Manufacturing Academy was first unveiled as part of Apple’s $600 billion investment in the United States. Other parts of that investment include a server manufacturing facility in Texas, expanded data center capacity, additional R&D jobs, and more.
Here’s what Apple says in today’s announcement about Apple Manufacturing Academy virtual programming:
Available starting today, the virtual courses cover a wide range of topics focused on advanced manufacturing, including automation, predictive maintenance, quality control optimization, and machine learning with vision. Additionally, the program offers professional development training in areas like communication and presentation skills, equipping participants with comprehensive resources to thrive in today’s competitive landscape. This initial set of online materials represents the first phase of the Apple Manufacturing Academy curriculum, and it will be continuously expanded as the program evolves.
Here’s Sabih Khan, Apple’s chief operating officer:
“At Apple, we believe in the power of American ingenuity, and we’re proud to be delivering even more options to support small- and medium-sized companies across the country. By bringing the Apple Manufacturing Academy curriculum online, we’re opening the door for even more businesses and workers to build cutting-edge expertise, helping fuel U.S. competitiveness and support the growth of advanced manufacturing nationwide.”
