IGilbert Family Foundation, engenzi nzuzo eseDetroit, izokhipha isibonelelo sezigidi zamadola (inani langempela lalo elingaziwa njengamanje) futhi lihlinzekele ukusekelwa kokwelulekwa ku-Apple Academy entsha yonjiniyela eDetroit.
Lesi sibonelelo sikhishwa ngokubambisana nomndeni wezinkampani zakwaRock, okubandakanya iQuicken Loans neRocket Rocks. Usomabhizinisi uDan Gilbert ungumnikazi weRock Ventures, waphinde wasungula iGilbert Family Foundation nonkosikazi wakhe uJennifer. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iRocket Ventures ithe izosebenzisa inethiwekhi yezinkampani ukuphakamisa "izindlela zokufundisa nezabafundi."
I-Apple iqale yamemezela ukuthi izovula isikhungo sonjiniyela eDetroit ngokubambisana neMichigan State University ekuqaleni kuka-2021. Izicelo zivulwe ngoMeyi, kanti lesi sikole kuhlelwe ukuthi sivulwe ngokusemthethweni ngo-Okthoba.
UDan Gilbert, uthi:
Ukufika kuka-Apple eDetroit kunamandla okuthinta izizukulwane zamaDetroiters ngokunikela ngezindlela ezintsha ezihlukile zokujoyina ukuvuselelwa kobuchwepheshe. Njengoba umkhakha wezobuchwepheshe wakwaDetroit uqina, sidinga ukuthi sitshale imali ezinhlelweni ezihlosiwe njenge-Academy ukuthuthukisa ukulingana nokususa izithiyo zokungena kwamalungu omphakathi wethu. Mina noJennifer siyaziqhenya ngokubambisana ne-alma mater yethu, i-MSU, ne-Apple ukwenza lo mbono uphile.
I-Apple Developer Academy izohlinzeka ngokuqeqeshwa kwamakhodi nobuchwepheshe emphakathini. Ukufundela umsebenzi kuzoba mahhala kubo bonke abafundi, kungakhathalekile ukuthi banasiphi isizinda semfundo, futhi kuzobekwa eqhulwini ukwamukelwa kwabahlali baseDetroit.
Ngokusho kukaLisa Jackson, iphini likamongameli we-Apple we-Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives:
Kwa-Apple, sibonile ukuthi ubuchwepheshe bungaba kanjani ithonya elinamandla lokuhle, ukudala amathuba amasha nokuhlinzeka ngamathuluzi okusungula nawosomabhizinisi. Kubalulekile ukuthi yonke imiphakathi ifinyelele kulawo mathuba, yingakho sikujabulele ukuvula i-Apple Developer Academy yokuqala eMelika edolobheni laseDetroit, idolobha eligcwele ukuqina, ubuciko kanye nomoya wezamabhizinisi.
