Apple today announced the creation of a new Apple Education Center in Hanoi to expand training and skills development programs for its supply chain employees in Vietnam.
The new center is the first of its kind in the country and will begin offering courses this fall, in partnership with Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST). Apple and its partners already offer nearly 20 training programs for supplier employees in Vietnam.
Courses will combine online and in-person learning, covering areas such as manufacturing, robotics and automation technology. The center will also provide leadership and soft skills training aimed at helping workers advance in their current roles or move into new careers.
The new center is the latest initiative funded by Apple’s $50 million Vendor Employee Development Fund, a global program the company is launching in 2022. Apple said more than 9 million education and training sessions have been delivered so far through the fund, and more than 108,000 vendor employees have participated in its Swift programming courses since 2017.
The fund also supports labor rights education and health programs covering broader topics such as health and fitness programs, mental health and disease screening.
