The Adobe Career Bootcamp propelling young creatives into the workforce
Adobe's new half-day Career Bootcamp is an innovative skill building and networking event for student creatives.
Each attendee charts his or her own crash course in the soft skills of their profession, then practices what they've learned on site with peers and creative pros.

All Semifinalists, Finalists, and Winners of the 2016 Adobe Design Achievement Awards will be invited to attend Career Bootcamp for free.
HOW IT WORKS:
Students then choose between two information-packed workshops led by creative pros:

After a brief break, Bootcamp continues with a choice between two more sessions:

From their final sessions, students proceed directly to the grand finale...
Session leaders, Adobe experts and other creative pros surf the Soirée, spicing up the conversation, observing student interactions and joining in to hand out special tokens for great first impressions, awesome pitches, and more.

Bootcamp wraps up with a final expert panel discussion, where pros share key observations from the Soirée.
Adobe is currently looking for partner institutions to host Career Bootcamps worldwide beginning in late 2016.
Hosting a Career Bootcamp is simple and a great way to launch student careers! While the program was specifically designed for Semifinalists, Finalists, and Winners of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards and they are always invited to attend any Bootcamp for free, each event is also open to the partner institution's student body, making it a terrific opportunity to get young creatives excited about jumpstarting their careers...
