Apple has launched a first-of-its-kind Apple Education Hub in Bengaluru to expand its skill-building and training programs for employees at its supplier facilities across India. The hub will provide access to educators specializing in digital education and Swift coding, helping supplier employees gain new technical skills and career growth opportunities.
Apple has partnered with Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) for the initiative, with courses set to begin in March. MAHE faculty will train instructors who will then conduct classes for large groups of employees at their supplier sites. Training will start with Tata Electronics and gradually expand to more than 25 Apple supplier facilities across the country.
The courses are funded through Apple’s $50 million Supplier Employee Development Fund and reflect Apple’s long-term investment in workforce development in India. Sarah Chandler, Apple’s Vice President of Environment and Supply Chain Innovation, highlighted the program’s goal of giving thousands of employees the opportunity to learn valuable new skills and explore career advancement paths.
Currently, more than 75 courses covering technical, digital, and professional skills are available to Apple supplier employees in India. Following the successful launch of a robotics training program in December 2026, Apple plans to expand the program further this year. The company will also train and certify factory educators at robotics labs, enabling them to teach other employees according to the specific needs of each facility.
