  Apple Expands Partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities

   Josh Centers

   As part of its Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, Apple is
   [1]expanding its partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and
   Universities (HBCUs), adding 10 new regional coding centers to serve as
   technology training hubs for those campuses and their surrounding
   areas.

   The coding centers are intended to teach both college students and
   adults how to code with Apple technologies.

   12 of the 24 schools in the Community Education Initiative that Apple
   launched last year are HBCUs, and the company says it hopes to double
   that number by the end of the summer. Good on Apple.
