Talent for Good cohorts range from 8-20 apprentices, which provides the opportunity for collaborative group learning as well as individual time and mentorship.

Apprentices will also learn the higher education and nonprofit industries, including organizational strategies, general operating principles, and common Salesforce tech stacks for these. In addition, apprentices will be given the skills necessary for Salesforce consulting, including best practices for consulting methodology, implementing, and supporting Salesforce for clients. Apprentices must achieve a second Salesforce certification within 6 months. Most Select the Business Analyst certification which aligns with our training curriculum.
