ABOUT THE ADOBE CERTIFICATION:
Give Your Students’ Creative Juices a Shot
of Credibility
Landing that first job out of high school or college is
daunting. The classic dilemma for students entering the
workforce with little or no experience is convincing employers
they are capable of doing the job. Talented students now
have an effective credibility-building tool they can add
to their resumés: Adobe® Certified Associate.
For those seeking employment that requires demonstrating
the ability to use digital media needed to plan, design,
build, and maintain effective communications, Adobe Certified
Associate is a certification program that validates the
skills of job seekers.
Boost Confidence with Up-to-Date Skills
No question about it: Educators everywhere use Adobe software
to energize learning in the 21st Century. Like the students
who pursue certification, teachers enhance their own teaching
credentials by earning an industry-recognized certification.

their stature in the classroom and provide a model for students
in developing employable skills through Adobe certification.
Certification Helps Prove Proficiency

more than familiar users of digital communications technology
to drive successful business outcomes—they need proficient
users. With certification, hiring managers will know that
work similar to the excellent portfolio they just reviewed
can be accomplished efficiently.
