Latest Adobe research: AI is changing how creatives work.

Help graduating students take their creative work with them.
It's easy for graduating students to copy their Adobe files from school-assigned accounts to new or existing Adobe personal accounts. With the Student File Transfer feature, they'll get ongoing access to their work so they can showcase it to future employers. Learn more and use our email templates to inform students of this great benefit.
Empower students to succeed with a career-ready skills kit and micro-credentials.
As students head into the winter break looking for internships, part-time roles, or graduate programmes, our Learning Kits and Credly short courses give them the tools to showcase their best work — and they give you a ready-to-run end-of-semester project.
Check out the Career Skills Portfolio kit with an Adobe Express template, and share the Adobe Digital Academy (short courses) with students so they can stay ahead of the pack.
