That\u2019s why a core focus of our workforce development strategy is preparing the next generation of leaders with access to opportunities, education and skills to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Salesforce Untapped Talent apprenticeships provide pathways to early careers at Salesforce for those from backgrounds underrepresented in the tech sector and for those without university degrees. In partnership with training providers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ada: National College for Digital Skills<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmsprogress.com\/apprenticeships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMS Progress<\/a> in the UK, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fit.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/msletbtrainingcentres.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSLETB<\/a> in Ireland, our apprenticeships provide paid work experience and on-the-job training. These programmes <b>enable young people to establish a strong professional foundation<\/b>, develop specialised skills, build their networks, and grow their careers. At the same time, they enable Salesforce to develop entry-level talent and bring fresh perspectives to our teams, adding tremendous value to our company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Untapped Talent Apprenticeships currently run in the UK and Ireland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"apprenticeships-kick-start-careers\"><span>Apprenticeships Kick Start Careers <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining Salesforce, Apprentice Aaron Wilson worked in hospitality and was looking for an opportunity to break into a new career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<i>I wanted to do something more than what I was currently doing, maybe go back to college and study something new, but I was hesitant to commit to another four years of education when I really wanted to progress in a career. When the opportunity arose to apply for this program, I knew how big of a game-changer<b> <\/b>it could be for me. The chance to work in a company with as amazing a reputation that Salesforce has, while also getting a qualification out of it, and <b>setting myself up for a potential career<\/b>.<\/i>\u201d <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/09\/nawquote1.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining Salesforce, Aaron has had \u201d<i>the <b>opportunity to work in multiple parts of the business<\/b>, as a way to experience how the company works from all angles. This includes Marketing, Customer Success, Enablement, etc. In my time in college, I&#8217;ve studied Sales Fundamentals, Psychology of Sales, Marketing, Leadership, Sales Forecasting, International Selling, Coaching, Entrepreneurship, Customer Experience, and Legal and Ethical Considerations in Sales. My public speaking and presentation skills have also skyrocketed, something I wish to keep using as I move forward in my career.<\/i> \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"apprenticeships-are-making-an-impact-at-salesforce\"><span>Apprenticeships are Making an Impact at Salesforce <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers are leveraging Untapped Talent programs as a way to <b>develop promising new talen<\/b>t for their teams. Functions like Sales, Solution Engineering and Cybersecurity are hiring cohorts of apprentices, and investing in their growth and training aligned to the specialised needs of the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dermot Cribbin, Product Management Senior Manager, is one of many managers who realised the potential apprentices can bring to the team when Laurne Cudden, a former Business Technology Apprentice, joined his team: &#8220;<i>Since joining Salesforce and the BT Systems team in particular Lauren has really <b>embraced the opportunity to work in a very dynamic team<\/b> driving and supporting multiple technologies. What&#8217;s been most impressive since then is Lauren&#8217;s ability to network, make connections around the business and be curious. That curiosity has now taken her into the world of Agile and Scrum as she offers even more support to her team as an acting Scrum Lead.<\/i>&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solutions Engineering Apprentice, Eisosa Abdullahi, is just one of the many apprentices adding value to teams across the business: \u201c<i>The highlights in my apprenticeship journey are many. I was fortunate enough to have <b>won company awards such as the \u2018Customer Success\u2019 Award <\/b>and received shoutouts in UKI-wide channels, allowing me to advocate for all apprentices. One of my biggest achievements was creating a video for a large strategic account. I created a personalised story for a specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/customer-success-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">customer<\/a> showcasing an end-to-end solution. The video began trending internally within Salesforce and I received praise from VPs and Directors from both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/products\/sales-cloud\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales<\/a> and SE teams<\/i>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"celebrating-success\"><span>Celebrating Success <\/span> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, our apprentices were recognised for awards across the UK and Ireland. Eisosa Abdullahi won National Degree Apprentice of the Year at the <a href=\"https:\/\/appawards.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Apprenticeship Awards <\/a>and at the <a href=\"https:\/\/multiculturalapprenticeshipawards.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards<\/a> 2022, Eisosa Abdullahi and Priyanka Kaintura were shortlisted in the Digital and Technology and Judges Choice categories (respectively).
