Starting January 31st, individuals will have the opportunity to choose between 50 new 'Today at Apple' programs that are geared toward promoting creativity, as well as technique and product know-hows. The free creative workshops are presented in three distinct formats. The 'Skills' category is geared toward helping shoppers develop new techniques via Apple products — from photo-editing to digital sketching. The 'Walks' programs are more adventurous as customers "venture outside the store and explore." Finally, the 'Labs' category of the free creative workshops invites "[world-renowned artists and makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanicals-creativity-workshop)" to engage the audience and catalyze inspiration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Education](https://www.trendhunter.com/education) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Free Creative Workshops:** More companies can adopt this strategy to enhance the customer experience. - **'today at Apple' Programs:** Other tech companies can create similar programs to promote their products and engage customers. - **Skill Development for Customers:** Businesses can offer free skill development programs to increase customer loyalty and repeat purchases. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** Technology companies can implement free educational programs to enhance customer experience. - **Retail:** Retailers can offer free creative workshops to promote their products and increase customer engagement. - **Education:** Educational institutions can partner with businesses to offer free skill development programs for mutual benefit. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Creativity-Focused Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativity-workshop-series.md) - [Play-Inspiring Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspiring-workshops.md) - [Gen Alpha Creativity Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativity-workshop.md) - [Creativity-Centered Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-workshop.md) - [New Tech Product Announcements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-tech-products.md) - [Next Generation Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designers-of-tomorrow.md) - [Flea-Market-Inspired Brand Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-experience.md) - [Tech-Powered Business Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-business-connect.md) - [Toy-Inspired Music-Themed Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativity-workshops.md)
