Is the learning opportunity you’re considering eligible for Learning Fund reimbursement?
What’s covered?
Adobe’s Learning Fund covers up to ¥138,000 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 program, discuss the opportunity with your manager to ensure 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.

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/institution. Once you approve, the claim will be sent to the vendor for final approval and processing.
You must submit your reimbursement claims through My Adobe Benefits with all required documentation for development opportunities in the current year by December 30. Any expenses submitted after December 30 will be reimbursable from the following year's allowance.
