Free training is at the heart of Salesforce Military. Veterans, service members, military spouses and Gold Star children bring leadership, discipline, adaptability and mission-focused experience to the civilian workforce. Salesforce Military helps participants build on those strengths through free technology training, certification opportunities, artificial intelligence training, career coaching and access to a professional community.
The program helps members of the military community translate their experience into skills and credentials that can support careers with Salesforce, its customers and partners, and other technology employers.
No previous Salesforce, coding or technology experience is required. Training is flexible and primarily self-paced, allowing participants to choose a career path, complete online learning and prepare for certification at a pace that fits their transition, employment, education and family commitments.
Eligible participants can access these resources at no cost.
