Career and technical education solutions
Prepare students for future careers or professional work
Open the door to an exciting career by developing real-world job skills — such as technical know-how, teamwork, and client interaction — and using industry-standard software tools.
Overview
How K–12 students in career and technical programs perform after graduation largely depends on what they learn while in school. Students who master on-the-job behaviors alongside digital communications skills not only get the most out of their learning, but they also emerge ready for success in the workforce, where award-winning Adobe software is the industry standard.
Given this dynamic, a powerful symbiosis emerges: School becomes more relevant to students as it aligns with the work world. And professional work experience reinforces the need for an interactive education experience that includes Adobe products.
Whether students are learning print and graphic design, web design and development, or film and video production, Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 software provides the essential, tightly integrated, multiplatform capabilities today's working professionals rely on. Creative Suite 4 editions for design, web, and video are offered to schools and districts in affordable site licenses with free tutorials and yearlong school curriculums.
