LANSING — Michigan State University is partnering with Apple to train students in the skills they need to develop apps in a growing industry.
The partnership brings Apple’s first U.S.-based developer academy to Detroit, where students will learn coding, design, entrepreneurship and additional professional skills to help them start careers in the apps economy.
“Apple is the perfect partner for us to help educate and prepare a diverse generation of coders, tech leaders and entrepreneurs, and Detroit — Michigan’s innovative technology and premier urban hub — is the right location for this academy,” MSU President Samuel Stanley Jr., said in a statement. “There is tremendous potential for this project moving forward and we’re excited to get started.”
