Student-Friendly Workplace Initiatives

Apple's Flexible Training Programs Target Those in School

— March 31, 2016 — Business
Apple's student-friendly workplace initiatives target those who are in school or those going through a transitional phase in their lives. In addition to flexible training programs and internships for Apple employees who are balancing work with university or collage life, the tech brand's other unique initiatives include its AppleCare Collage program.

Those still in school can enroll in an AppleCare program that lets them assist tech owners from the comfort of their own home. In addition to building work experience, this position is ideal for students looking to work for Apple in the future while strengthening their interpersonal skills.

Other student-friendly programs offered by the tech brand include Apple Campus Rep positions that are convenient for those living amidst collage communities that offer limited job availability.

3. Remote Tech Support Programs - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish remote tech support programs that enable students to work from home and assist customers with their technical needs, providing hands-on experience and developing problem-solving skills.
Industry Implications

2. Tech Retail - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create student-focused retail initiatives, such as special discounts and incentives, to cater to the needs and preferences of the student demographic.
