Adobe Digital Academy is Expanding
A new global initiative expands the Adobe Digital Academy’s focus to equip next-generation learners and teachers with AI literacy, content creation and digital marketing skills to thrive in the modern workforce.
Reskilling and upskilling through modern apprenticeships
Part of our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, the Adobe Digital Academy offers career switchers the education and experience they need to launch successful careers in user experience (UX) design, data science, software engineering and digital marketing.
To help other companies build their own modern apprenticeship programs, we’ve created an open-source playbook that explains our process and offers tips and best practices.
