Strideforce

our mission is to create tech careers by providing training and hands-on experience to underrepresented populations, while bringing quality affordable services to nonprofits and socially responsible businesses to leverage salesforce effectively. we have engaged with salesforce in an academic alliance partnership where they have made all of their curriculum available to us for the first year at no cost. we are currently training our first cohort in the salesforce admin 201 course. the standard 1-week/40-hour salesforce class is spread over 8 weeks to allow for extensive hands-on experience and the incorporation of resilience building activities. in return for the free course, the graduates perform volunteer hours and will then be offered internships. the initial services will include data entry, data migration, contact center support, and crm customizations. over time we will also be developing add-on applications that can be integrated into salesforce, for example volunteer management
