Austin Community College prepares students for success in a digital future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by the Adobe Communications Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 11 campuses and more than 70,000 students annually, Austin Community College District (ACC) is one of the largest community college systems in the nation. It\u2019s also the top school in Texas for transferring into public universities, providing an affordable start for students pursuing a four-year degree. As part of the dynamic ecosystem of technology and art that thrives in the Austin area, the institution is dedicated to preparing students for success in a digital world. And, ACC is an Adobe Creative Campus \u2014 the country\u2019s first community college to have that distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany companies look for digitally fluent employees well-versed in Adobe Creative Cloud,\u201d says Thomas Nevill, Dean of Arts and Digital Media at Austin Community College. \u201cAs an Adobe Creative Campus, ACC gives students an advantage and helps them build digital portfolios in an increasingly online world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital fluency is an important part of ACC\u2019s 2025 Academic Master Plan, with Adobe Creative Cloud at the center of its Digital Literacy Equity and Inclusion for All (DLEI) initiative. As co-chair of the planning process, Nevill recognizes the need to integrate digital skills into every discipline \u2014 not only Arts and Digital Media but in Health Sciences, Education, Liberal Arts, and beyond. Today, Adobe Creative Cloud is available at no cost to employees and at a deep discount to students, and his goal is to make Adobe Creative Cloud free for both students and employees in the future. With Adobe Creative Cloud tools such as Adobe XD<\/a>, ACC is bringing digital fluency to the community college curriculum, exposing people to digital skills who might not otherwise develop them.

Austin Community College and Apple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Austin Community College District and Apple have partnered to create a new coding program that provides ongoing technology training to students from kindergarten until after they enter the workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Austin Community Education Initiative brings coding classes to underrepresented schools and communities, focusing efforts on areas where students might not have had the opportunity to learn coding skills before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to coding programs, ACC partners with Apple to provide students in the Game Development department with access to and experience with publishing and managing apps in Apple’s App Store.<\/p>\n<\/div>
