Back in college—in the daaark days for Apple (the lose-$700MM+-in-a-quarter days)—I was an Apple student rep, driving around a minivan full of swag & hipping people to the technologies I loved. It was a bumpy time, but the work experience complemented what I learned in school.

You can apply here. [Update: Evidently the program only exists in the US right now.]
Hey John, just found the faq on the program, it mentions : Currently the program is available in the United States, Sweden, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Do you know if (and who) would have plans to open it to France and Belgium ?
[Good catch, Franck; I should update the post. I’m afraid I haven’t heard of any expansion plans (which is not to say that they don’t exist). –J.]
