Overview of Adobe’s Digital Academy Program :
Adobe Digital Academy is a two-part program that supports students from across the country.
Part 1: Immersive Training with General Assembly
Digital Academy scholarships provide students with web development training through trusted education partners. These education partners provide ongoing feedback on student performance, as part 2 is dependent on successful completion of Part 1.
Part 2: Internship at Adobe
Dependent on feedback from the education partner, Digital Academy students are eligible to be considered for a three-month internship program with a technical team at Adobe. They get hands-on job experience, ongoing feedback, mentorship, and peer support — high performers have the opportunity to be hired full-time.
The Opportunity:
Are you a passionate designer ready to imagine, iterate, and execute across multiple design directions and workflows? Are you someone who favors interactive prototypes over flat mockups? Perhaps someone who also has a keen business sense and the ability to craft design directions that are creative and scale Adobe’s design products?
This is your opportunity to join a dynamic growing team, think holistically about design, and help build the future of creative tools for creative people just like you.
All 2023 Adobe Interns will be ‘co-located hybrid’, meaning that you will be assigned to an Adobe office location, but in-office schedules will be flexible (2-3 days per week). All interns must live in the same state, country, and within commuting distance of their assigned Adobe office so they can be on-site as needed. Interns visiting Adobe sites must follow all applicable COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Digital Academy interns located 50+ miles away from an Adobe office and unable to relocate for an internship may be eligible for remote work.
What You’ll Do:

Critique and be critiqued. We value a positive personality who can give and take healthy feedback, encourage and develop the team’s ideas, and generally leave ego out of it.
Help drive the design process. From early vision concepts, to wireframes, to visual design and on to pixel-perfect delivery, our team does it all.
Understand and advocate for our users. Work with researchers and product managers from customer discovery to detailed usability testing, always putting our users first.
Grow. You’ll sharpen your skills, take ownership of important aspects of the design, and help evolve our team as we continue to learn and tune our process.
Collaborate. You’ll be part of a communicative, healthy, product development family that includes products managers, engineers, researchers and other designers.
Ship. We ship. You’ll have multiple opportunities to bring the hypothetical to the actual and enjoy seeing your work in the hands of millions.
