Apple has launched a new mentorship program called Launch@Apple for first-generation college students. The plan is primarily open for majoring students in accounts and economics, subjects related to business and mathematics.
As per a report by MacRumours, during the mentorship, Apple matches college students with Apple employees who act as mentors to the studies. The mentors provide resources for learning and give the students opportunities for professional growth. The mentorship also comes with the possibility of paid externships, internships, and job shadowing.
As per Apple “Launch matches students one-on-one with Apple mentors and provides resources and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The launch will focus on the essentials to manage and then excel in school and work. Opportunities for job shadowing paid externships, and paid internships may also be available to Launch participants.”
Last week a Linkedin post mentioned the program, and it also featured on Myhealthyapple. Apple engineer Logan Kilpatrick had also tweeted about the mentorship program from his Twitter handle.
The mentorship will officially be open for admission in early 2021. Interested students can send an email to [email protected] by Friday, Jan 8th, 2021.
To enrol for this program:
- The applicant needs to be in the first or second year of college.
- The students should study finance, economics, accounting, or similar discipline relating to business, mathematics, commerce, or data analytics.
- Should be keen to work in finance in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
- Students must share their details on the school, GPA, resume, and questions like why they should be accepted in the mail application.
Apple has not shared many details about the program, so it is not clear whether the program will be launched outside the United States or not. Also, the course had been designed in collaboration with the University of Washington.
