In line with President Donald Trump’s persistent endeavors to restore manufacturing employment in the U.S., Bloomberg indicates that Trump will declare Apple’s intention to invest an extra $100 billion for local production today. This amount supplements the previously announced $500 billion investment from Apple earlier this year. With $600 billion assigned for this purpose, Apple foresees that these new initiatives will facilitate the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.
When Apple revealed its $500 billion investment plan in February, they noted that part of the funds would go towards establishing an academy aimed at training manufacturers and technicians in Apple’s design methodologies. In fact, one of the hurdles Apple faces in replicating its Asian factories is the shortage of skilled workers capable of managing and operating such facilities.
