What is the name of Apple's internal employee training program?

Apple’s internal employee training program is called Apple University.

Apple University is a corporate training facility created to teach employees about Apple’s history, business decisions, technology, and distinctive corporate culture. Steve Jobs established it in 2008 as Apple expanded and needed a way to preserve shared principles across a growing workforce.

The program was devised with Joel Podolny, then dean of Yale School of Management, who led it for many years. Courses are tailored to employees’ roles and backgrounds and are offered through an internal system. They are recommended rather than universally compulsory, and the program is notably private because Apple discourages public discussion of its internal operations.

Apple University is known for teaching through case studies rather than simply listing rules. Lessons have examined decisions such as making the iPod and iTunes compatible with Windows, as well as Apple’s preference for simplicity in product design and communication. In one reported teaching example, a complicated Google TV remote was contrasted with Apple TV’s much simpler remote.

“Apple Academy,” “Apple Institute,” and “Apple School” are plausible-sounding names, but they are not the established name of this program.
