New Trailhead Innovations Empower You to Skill Up for the Future

The demand for Salesforce talent has never been higher. In fact, a new study from IDC finds that Salesforce and its ecosystem of partners will create 4.2 million new jobs by 2024. With Trailhead, we’re on a mission to break down the barriers of entry and provide everyone with equal opportunity to land in-demand jobs.

Currently, there are 1.7 million learners (and growing!) on Trailhead. We’re always looking for new and innovative ways to empower you to skill up for the future.

Today, we’re so excited to announce two brand new Trailhead product innovations to help you learn in-demand skills and land your dream job: Trailhead Live and Trailblazer.me. Both are coming soon!

Trailhead Live: The Classroom Experience Reinvented

We know that everyone learns in different ways. And we wanted to ensure that learners who prefer to learn in a classroom setting, but might not be able to afford or attend them due to proximity, have all the tools they need to be successful.

Enter, Trailhead Live.

Trailhead Live reinvents the classroom experience for the digital world. It is a brand new learning experience on Trailhead that provides learners with live stream and on-demand videos covering today’s most in-demand skills for free. Trailhead Live leverages the power of live broadcast and community interaction — through Q&As and discussions — to create new levels of engagement.

With Trailhead Live, you’ll have access to Salesforce experts, including Salesforce instructors and experienced Trailblazer Community members on an array of topics. With programming across global time zones, there will be an opportunity for everyone to join a live broadcast. Have a conflict or want to rewatch one of your favorite videos? You’ll be able to access all of the recordings on-demand!

Trailhead Live content will focus on:

• Salesforce Certification Test Prep: Access expert-led study help before you sit for your first or next Salesforce Certification.
• Admin Best Practices: Build your Salesforce Admin career.
• CodeLive with Salesforce Developers: Learn new technology, patterns, and best practices for solving practical problems with code.
• BAM Virtual Summits: Get the training and tools you’ll need to host learning events in your own community.

Each Trailhead Live video also contains related content to help you on your learning journey. From related Trailhead projects and modules to Trailhead Academy courses, Trailhead Live provides you with everything you need to learn new skills and earn resume-worthy credentials.

Trailblazer.me: Your Reinvented Resume

In order to land a top job in the Salesforce Economy, it’s important that you stand out from the competition. Traditional resumes and even some digital resumes remain antiquated laundry lists of workplace experience. You need a way to stand out. A way to showcase your skills and expertise.

That’s why we’re so thrilled to announce Trailblazer.me, your reinvented resume. Trailblazer.me is one unified profile that provides current and future employers with a complete view of all of your experience, accomplishments, and learning across Trailhead, the Trailblazer Community, AppExchange, Salesforce Events, IdeaExchange, and more.

Trailblazer.me is able to auto-populate all of your activity across Salesforce Communities because you’ll now be able to use one identity for all — allowing you to seamlessly toggle between apps without the hassle of having to sign in!

With this new unified, modern sign up and login experience across all sites, it’s easier than ever to navigate through communities and build your experience.

Your customized Trailblazer.me URL makes it easier than ever to network and connect with fellow Trailblazers, opening the door to massive opportunities regardless of where you live or who’s in your current network.

With the ability to log in with your personal email or social login, Trailblazer.me will be with you throughout your career journey. Instead of having to start over by building community influence and reputation if you switch companies, you’ll be able to keep a rich history of learning, community engagement, apps built, and more!
