http://www.apple.com/jobs/uk/leaderprogram.html

In this 24-month rotational programme, you’ll spend time working in key store positions, learning and experiencing how to lead in this unique environment. You’ll also develop your natural skills to motivate and inspire those around you – as they develop, inspire and motivate you.

The Apple Store Leader Program is a 24-month immersion in every aspect of managing and operating an Apple Retail Store. You’ll emerge from the program with world-class leadership skills and the opportunity to secure a leadership position at one of our stores anywhere in the world.

This sounds like a fantastic opportunity. Has anyone on the board applied this year (or last)?

I haven't, but I did consider it after graduation last year.

While I worked for Apple retail in college I actually got to meet a young lady going through this program and I spoke with her about her experience. From what she said, it seems like a truly unique and worthy experience if you are interested in joining Apple in a retail aspect long-term. This could be in a retail store or with Apple's corporate retail division (or so she said).

Looking back, I wish I had applied. A word of caution though, she told me that the acceptance rate is very low at around 2% of applicants. Just a heads up.

Best of luck if you consider and apply for the program!

It does sound like a great experience from what I've heard. I understand that it's a fairly new scheme.
