Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has launched a school to teach computer science and technology-related skills. Wozniak last week announced creation of what is being called an online university, known as Woz U. In the beginning, Woz U will only offer classes through electronic devices connected to computers. Later, the school plans to open up classrooms in more than 30 cities so students can attend in person.
Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer, with Steve Jobs, in 1976. They developed and hand-built the company’s first computer, the Apple I, mainly working in Jobs’ home. The following year, Wozniak designed the Apple II, which marked a revolution in computer design and development. The Apple II became the world’s first successfully mass-produced personal computer.
Steve Wozniak left Apple in 1985. He has said he left because he did not agree with some of the company’s business goals at the time. Since then, he has been involved with several other technology companies. Now Wozniak is teaming up with a for-profit company to provide programs for students interested in learning about technology.
“Our goal is to educate and train people in employable digital skills
without putting them into years of debt,” Wozniak said in a statement. He added his goal is to inspire and prepare “the next generation of innovators” to join the workforce of the future.
Woz U currently offers training in software development and computer support. The school plans to add several other subjects in 2018. Students who finish the programs will receive a certificate of completion upon graduation. Wozniak says the school will also work with technology companies to help them identify new workers and train the ones they already have.

A. By online learning.
B. By attending classes in person. C. By means of practising in companies.
D. By having face-to-face interactions with professors. 33. Why did Wozniak leave Apple?
A. Because he determined to do education public service. B. Because he had disagreements with the company’s goals. C. Because he wanted to build a for-profit company of his own. D.
