As industries increasingly prioritize creativity and AI fluency, higher education institutions have been challenged to prepare students to thrive in an evolving landscape. In the third installment of our Creative Core Series, we explored how Adobe tools like Firefly and Creative Cloud have been transforming classrooms into launchpads for career success.

In this session, we explored how integrating creative AI into curricula equipped students with the confidence, skills, and portfolios needed to stand out in competitive job markets. We discussed how institutions can foster creative fluency across all majors, enabling students to express their ideas, showcase their talents, and pursue meaningful careers.

Our speakers shared:

• Strategies for embedding creative AI tools into diverse academic programs
• Insights into how Adobe micro-credentials and portfolios enhance employability
• Real-world examples of students leveraging Adobe skills to land jobs faster and advance in their careers

This session focused on preparing students for a future defined by innovation, adaptability, and creative leadership, and highlighted how institutions can lead the way in shaping tomorrow’s workforce.
