Why Vetforce? Why Now?
Vetforce is the Salesforce job training and career accelerator program for military service members, veterans, and spouses.
Recently, an estimated 170,000 people descended on San Francisco for one of the world’s largest tech conferences. While the product demos, keynotes and happy hours were great, there was one thing that amazed me the most: Vetforce.
As part of their mission to help service members, veterans and spouses launch new careers, Salesforce has introduced the Vetforce program. Vetforce allows participants to train and test for highly competitive certifications that will help them land high-paying jobs within the Salesforce ecosystem.
What is Salesforce?
As Salesforce is the fastest-growing CRM in the world, these certifications can prove invaluable for service members seeking to transition directly into a high-paying career. Salesforce Admins bring in an average salary of $65,000 and can easily make upwards of $100,000+ with just a couple years of experience.
In short, a CRM is a customer relationship management system that allows businesses to track and maintain relationships with customers and potential customers. CRM systems are used by upwards of 80% of businesses in the US and nearly all major companies use them.
The Vetforce program is also an excellent resource for service members who have already transitioned and are seeking to level-up their career or enter a new field. Becoming a Salesforce Admin allows you to working with cutting-edge tech in leading companies around the globe and provides incredible opportunities for career growth.
Additional certifications and learning journeys allow veterans to enhance their career skills even more by providing the opportunity to become: app builders, developers, marketers, consultants, architect, or specialists… each of which providing a nearly endless array of job opportunity, career growth and salary advancements.
