Woz U: Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak's New Startup


Steve "Woz" Wozniak, cofounder of Apple Computer and inventor of the Apple II computer, announced on Friday the launch of his latest startup, Woz U. 

Woz U will start as an online learning platform focused on both students and companies that will eventually hire those students. Woz U is based out of Arizona, and hopes to launch physical locations for learning in more than 30 cities across the globe.



At launch, the curriculum will center around computer support specialists and software developers, with courses on data science, mobile applications and cybersecurity coming in the future. Woz U also offers access to tech companies interested in using the tools and resources provided to recruit and train employees. The platform will be available to students K-12 through partnerships with school districts too. 

Wozniak said in a statement: “Our goal is to educate and train people in employable digital skills without putting them into years of debt. People often are afraid to choose a technology-based career because they think they can’t do it. I know they can, and I want to show them how. My entire life I have worked to build, develop and create a better world through technology and I have always respected education. Now is the time for Woz U, and we are only getting started.”

Woz U will offer an app to help people understand which field of tech they’re best suited for, so they can set up their curriculum accordingly.

But i went same way some other Social media platforms in Iran as the Muslim majority country has completely block the feature across the country. According to the Minister of Information and Communication Technology (Mahmod Vaezi)said: "We are always try to choose best for our people and operators, but operators are free to block audio calls if it has a financial reason (not political)".

Ladies and Gentlemen,  Today 4th of November 2014BC in my quest for a better life and satistaction I hereby take this bold step, spread my wings to join this race of blogging.  My philosophy in life is that " life is Lexis and structure and the only rule is fill in the gap but i must say you must mind the gap".  Am on this platform as somebody ready to bridge some (few) gaps in information communication technology with the little I know and with much desire to learn -  I am teachable.  Internet gurus should see me as a brother and make their constructive criticism and credits would be given as deserved.  ...until lamb becomes a lion.
