BUILD and Adobe Partner to Bridge The Digital Divide BUILD Prepares Youth for the Future Workforce Adobe announced a new global initiative last month that expands the Adobe Digital Academy’s focus on equipping learners and teachers with AI literacy, content creation, and digital marketing skills. BUILD is thrilled and honored to have been chosen as one of Adobe’s alternative educational and youth-serving collaborators in this game-changing initiative in New York City. “I’m thrilled to see Adobe partnering with us to provide our students, teachers, and program teams with such powerful tools,” says Thais Rezende, President and Interim CEO of BUILD.org.  “The added curriculum alignment and continuous training are game-changers for how we can bring creative projects to life and inspire our teams.”  BUILD students, educators, and volunteers in New York will learn to create high-quality content effortlessly with tools like Adobe Express and how to harness the power of generative AI.  “Build NYC’s program partnership with Adobe is helping us equip the next generation of innovators and leaders with the tools they need to succeed. This initiative goes beyond skill acquisition; it’s about igniting passion and unlocking the entrepreneurial spirit within our youth. Together we are empowering youth and democratizing access to creative and AI literacy, transforming dreams into reality, and building a workforce ready for the challenges of tomorrow.”   Sybil Mimy-Wells, BUILD NYC Regional Executive Director A student at the Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy presents a project
