Sixth-form trip to Adobe
On Tuesday 10th November the ICT & Business faculty took a lucky group of sixth-formers to Adobe UK headquarters. We had a fantastic day with superb support and guidance from Adobe representatives. Special thanks to Liz Wilkins and all her colleagues for making us not only feel extremely welcome but also for sharing such an excellent range of ideas and insights into a major corporation.
We had presentations and discussions that covered the history and ethos of Adobe, current & future technologies, marketing & related strategies, role & importance of social networking, the roles & responsibilities of an IT technician and requirements for the successful 21st century workplace. It was excellent to have just a diverse range of perspective during the day – covering education, employment, utility, marketing, support and business ethos.
Presentations included:
Introduction to Adobe – Liz Wikins (Education Marketing Manager, Adobe)
How to get a job in IT – Stuart Rowland (EMEA Talent Acquisition Manager, Adobe)
How businesses use Adobe products – Steve Burnard (Adobe evangelist)
How Tidalwave use technology to deliver engaging marketing campaigns – Huw Paisley (Account Director, Tidalwave)
How do use Social networking to your advantage – Ian Usher (eLearning at Bucks County Council)
What do the IT guys do? – Kevin Green (IT Support, Adobe)
How to succeed in the 21th century – Liz Wilkins
The photos below provide a glimpse of the day. Students will add their thoughts to this blog post too.
