Start building your career on Salesforce with Journey2Salesforce – Here’s Why, What & How

Sounds like 2020 isn't it? But it also perfectly describes the situation I was in 6 years ago – fresh out of school after studying economics and realizing it wasn’t my cup of tea.
Somehow, tech, computers, coding, and robotics always had a special place in my heart. Those were the things I absolutely loved learning more about.
Having taken the decision to explore my passion for tech over memorizing long answers just for the sake of it, I started to search to technologies that I can learn. (Do what you love!)
Now, you can't really expect someone from an economics background to know of how to code. So, I was looking for something simple yet exciting to start with. That is when I was introduced to Salesforce and the rest is history!! The technology and the community is simply life-changing!

Salesforce is the world’s #1 customer relationship management (CRM) platform. It helps marketing, sales, commerce, service and IT teams work as one from anywhere — so companies can keep their customers happy everywhere.
It is much more than just getting started with a CRM platform, you’re joining an inclusive community of over 10 million innovators, disruptors, and community shapers we call Trailblazers. With free online learning from Trailhead, they’re learning the skills to improve their companies and careers.

According to IDC, 1.9 million direct and indirect jobs will be created in the Salesforce Ecosystem in India by 2024.

Salesforce is one of the best technologies you can learn now more than ever. Many businesses use it and are looking for people who can help them build and develop solutions on the Salesforce Platform.

Don’t know where to start? Well, look no further because #Journey2Salesforce is here.

Journey to Salesforce is a great way to start your career in the Salesforce ecosystem in India. With this program you will:

Learn By Doing with Trailhead
Theory is nice but nothing replaces actual experience.
Trailhead is Salesforce’s very own learning platform with makes it fun and engaging to learn anything about Salesforce from basics to mastery.

Get Mentored by the Salesforce Community
It is always so helpful to have someone to guide us to mastery. Like Yoda to a Jedi.
Ohana means family in Hawaiian and we are one big Ohana. Remember the community that I mentioned about earlier? This is it! Our Ohana of experienced Jedi Professionals, MVPs, User Group Leader, Women-In-Tech Leaders, Mentors and Companies will guide you through the journey with webinars and AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions.

Employer Connect
I know how hard it can be to look for a job all by ourselves.
With the rise in demand, prospective employers are always looking to onboard Salesforce Professionals.
This program acts as a bridge to connect aspirants like you with those employers who are in need.
In fact, the content and syllabus have been curated using feedback from employers and partners to make it more relevant to the market.

I truly wish #Journey2Salesforce existed when I got started with the Salesforce Platform. And it couldn’t have been more relevant during these unprecedented times. Kudos to the Salesforce Developer Relations Team for their incredible efforts on putting this together.

Note: This program is limited to legal residents of India and not for students or for those already working in the Salesforce Ecosystem.

I wish you all the best!
