The Apple Manufacturing Academy is focused on fundamentals. That’s what makes it such a meaningful opportunity for Amtech, selected as one of just a few organizations to participate in this groundbreaking program in partnership with Michigan State University.

In this episode, Amtech CEO Jay Patel shares what the experience has been like from the inside: the hands-on learning, the expert guidance, and the shift in mindset that comes from working alongside teams with extraordinary operational excellence.

We talk about time spent with Apple CEO Tim Cook, what Apple gets right from systems thinking to daily execution, and how those lessons are influencing Amtech’s own evolution. This is a story about what’s possible when people at every level are invited to think, act, and lead with precision.
