Preparing students with durable, essential skills in a rapidly evolving workforce
Today’s employers don’t just want workers who can follow instructions—they need creative problem solvers who can think critically, communicate in multiple modalities, and adapt to new technologies. Yet, many students still graduate without the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. According to the Creativity with AI in Education 2025 Report, educators who integrate creative learning with AI report that students feel more confident in their ability to think innovatively and apply their skills to real-world challenges.
Join Brian Johnsrud, Head of Education Thought Leadership and Student Success at Adobe, and top education experts in K-12 and higher education to explore how AI-powered creativity prepares students for the future of work. We’ll discuss key research findings and demonstrate how multimedia projects, AI-enhanced design thinking, and storytelling can give students hands-on experiences that build job-ready skills.
This session will equip you with strategies to integrate creative AI tools into your K-12 or higher education curriculum, empowering students to develop the skills they need to stand out—whether they’re entering college, the workforce, or launching their own ventures. Learn how to translate research into action and set your students up for success!
