Were you a trainer at Apple University? Because that program doesn't look like the regular otj training
Correct, but they use the same materials and training programs as far as I can tell, just different facilities.
The Picasso bit for instance was a paragraph included in an Apple history lesson, but it wasn't some philosophical discussion, just an aside about how they think, mostly to start some discussion about basic values.
Most of the training programs are just like any well made otj training, the comment about employees signing up for job specific courses is misleading, while they had some optional courses, it was just like any online course management system, a simple way to manage initial and ongoing job training.
In Apple's defense, their otj training was still better than any subsequent company I have worked at.
