Today, we\u2019re excited to announce new capabilities for Salesforce.org Education Cloud with a focus on lifelong learning.<\/p>

Now, more than ever, learners expect a connected education journey, and today\u2019s world demands it. Given that 85% of jobs<\/a> that will exist in 2030 have not been invented yet, the need to consistently re-skill and up-skill throughout one\u2019s lifetime will be critical. In order to support lifelong learning, education needs to evolve to create connected experiences throughout the student journey, as well as transitions from K-12 to higher ed and beyond.<\/p>

Education Cloud for Higher Education and K-12 is a CRM-based set of solutions that enable institutions to drive student success across the full lifecycle from prospect to alum. It includes the Salesforce Platform, Education Data Architecture (EDA), solution sets for Recruitment & Admissions, Student Experience, Advancement, and purpose-built products like Salesforce Advisor Link.<\/p>

New Capabilities to Achieve a K-20 Vision<\/b><\/p>

Education doesn\u2019t start at one chapter and end at another. It needs to be continuous, engaging, and highly personalized. With Education Cloud for K-12 and Higher Ed, institutions can have 360-degree views of every student, from their first classroom to the university campus and post-graduation.<\/p>

Developed in collaboration with our education partners and customer community, EDA is a flexible data architecture designed to configure Salesforce out of the box for K-20 education. As the foundation of Education Cloud, EDA provides a flexible and scalable framework that can fit specific use cases from Day 1.<\/p>

Supporting Students at Scale with New Capabilities for Salesforce Advisor Link <\/b><\/p>

Salesforce Advisor Link (SAL) streamlinines advising operations and provides a unified advising experience for every student. With SAL, advisors can easily engage with students individually or in groups, and quickly address their specific needs.<\/p>

Now, Salesforce is announcing Salesforce Advisor Link Pathways, <\/b>which provides proactive guidance to keep every student on track to graduate. Pathways can be used for degree planning as well as managing program plans and plan requirements so students and advisors can collaborate together to build a clear roadmap to completion.<\/p>
