You may be reimbursed up to €960 per calendar year for short-term learning opportunities (e.g., conferences, webinars, and online courses) to support your growth and development.
Who’s eligible?
All regular Adobe employees who are in good performance standing are eligible for this benefit. Regular employees include part-time employees who work the minimum hours required to be eligible for benefits. Interns and Adobe-paid temporary employees are not eligible, except where legally required. You must be employed with Adobe when the course begins and ends to receive reimbursement.
What’s covered?
Adobe’s professional development programme covers up to €960 for 2024 for short-term learning opportunities (such as conferences, workshops, webinars, online learning, business-related books, language courses, and professional memberships) directly related to your career growth at Adobe. Prior to signing up for a development programme, discuss the opportunity with your manager to ensure that it is aligned with the business and your career goals.
The benefit only covers the cost of the learning opportunity; it does not cover travel, meal expenses, software, equipment, or subscriptions to publications.

Once your claim is submitted, it will be automatically sent to your manager for approval.
Managers: You will receive a notification from My Adobe Benefits that your employee has submitted a claim. Please log on and review the claim, including coursework, costs, and vendor or institution.
