## Story

Apple has released a system update for women. CNN recently reported that the company kicked off its first-ever two-week Entrepreneur Camp on Sunday at Apple Park in Cupertino, California—and it’s for women business leaders only.

Apple accepted 10 companies to the inaugural camp and has plans to double that number in addition to hosting the workshop quarterly, according to the article. Prospective companies must have an iOS application, have at least one woman developer, and be founded, co-founded, or led by women, according to CNN.

CNN reports that according to the National Center for Women & Information Technology, women held 57 percent of professional occupations in the US in 2017, but only 26 percent of computing jobs. The article states that as of the same year, 23 percent of Apple’s tech employees were women.

While the schedule of the Entrepreneur Camp is unknown, CNN reports that Apple said companies would receive consultation in a variety of areas, including how to better market and improve their apps.
