--
With the kickoff of Trailblazers Innovate, we’re so thankful to be able to connect virtually with Trailblazers everywhere — because coming together as a community has never been more important. While it may feel daunting in this incredibly trying time, together, we can make meaningful change.
Whether you’re looking to transform your career or reskill at your current company, learning marketable skills with Trailhead has never been more impactful. I’m excited to share Trailhead’s latest product and content innovations that make it easier than ever for anyone to skill up and connect from anywhere.
Introducing Trailhead GO for Android
In today’s all-digital world, being able to learn in-demand skills anywhere is more relevant than ever. When we released Trailhead GO for iOS, we were excited to see the impact it had on your learning journey as well as all the places learning has taken you.
But, many of you have been eagerly and patiently waiting to get your hands on Trailhead GO. I’m so excited to share that the wait is over — Trailhead GO for Android is now available in Beta!
You can now access all of the amazing Trailhead learning content that you love on desktop — including the 800 badges of marketable skills, trailmixes, and Trailhead LIVE — from the palm of your hand. Bonus: There’s even campfire mode, which means your learning never has to stop.
Visit sforce.co/AndroidGO to join the Beta and stay up to date on the latest from Trailhead GO, and visit Trailhead Help for additional details. More details on general availability are coming soon.
Skill up with the new contact tracing trail
With our new normal of work, it’s necessary to have not only new ways to learn but also new skills to learn. It’s been a top priority for Trailhead that we have relevant and impactful content to empower you to learn skills for the jobs of the future.
In partnership with the University of California, San Francisco, I’m proud to share that we’ve released the Get Started as a Contact Tracer trail. Made up of four brand new modules, it provides anyone with an entry point to learn the fundamentals needed to be a contact tracer.
This new trail has been developed by experts from UCSF’s School of Medicine and made accessible to anyone on Trailhead.
Through a series of UCSF-led on-demand video lessons and interactive flashcards, anyone can learn this vital, in-demand skill.
While currently available in English, we’re happy to share that the videos will also be available in Spanish soon, further breaking down the barriers to learning.
Additionally, we have a contact tracer career page with details about the role and job listings tied to this growing and important field.
Visit the Salesforce Newsroom to read the Q&A with Heather Conklin, SVP and GM, Trailhead, and Dr. Michael Reid, Assistant Professor, UCSF Department of Medicine, to learn more about the partnership.
Connect to opportunity with job listings in Trailhead
Our mission with Trailhead isn’t just about empowering you to learn new skills; we also want to connect you to job opportunities in the Salesforce ecosystem. More than ever, companies need skilled talent to help them go digital fast in this work-from-anywhere world.
To better help you find those new opportunities, we’ve added job listings supplied by ZipRecruiter, an online employment marketplace, right on the Trailhead career pages. Now, relevant and location-based jobs are easier than ever to find across the different Salesforce career paths — bringing you one step closer to your dream job.
But wait, there’s MOAR…
With 1,300+ community groups across 90 countries, the Trailblazer Community has created an incredible movement around the world. And we’re always looking for new ways to help you connect and drive this movement from anywhere.
So, I’m thrilled to share the news about the most requested Trailblazer Community feature: We’re making the community mobile with Community in Trailhead GO!
We’re integrating all the things you love about collaborating in the Trailblazer Community directly into the Trailhead GO mobile app.
Personalized just for you, Community in Trailhead GO puts your feed front and center, enabling you to ask and answer questions, follow along with important updates in your groups, and even discover new featured groups — all from the palm of your hand.
Community in Trailhead GO will be available for iOS and Android. We’re excited to share more details about general availability soon.
