Veterans and military spouses offer skills that can make them exemplary employees, such as a proven ability to learn new trades and concepts. Yet, many face obstacles to employment because they often have challenges converting skills gained in the military to private sector jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Salesforce, we\u2019re committed to investing in the workforce of the future through our diverse set of programs, which are focused on training, reskilling, and hiring people for the technology jobs of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to announce that Salesforce is doubling our commitment to military Trailblazers by increasing our training goal from 40,000 veterans and military spouses to 80,000 over the next five years, and continuing to help them connect with companies and partners in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/press-releases\/2021\/09\/20\/idc-salesforce-economy-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce ecosystem<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to doubling our training commitment, and in honor of General Colin Powell\u2019s service to our country, Salesforce is also donating $1 million to organizations focused on workforce development, education, and veterans. General Powell had a foundational <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6109886\/colin-powell-marc-benioff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">impact on Salesforce<\/a> as a mentor to our Chairman &amp; CEO Marc Benioff, and as a member of our Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salesforce-survey-shows-that-people-value-having-veterans-in-the-workforce\">Salesforce survey shows that people value having veterans in the workforce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also releasing new insights from a Salesforce survey of more than 2,000 U.S. respondents that shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The overwhelming majority of people in the U.S. say military veterans are valuable to the workplace (91%) and make companies stronger (86%).<\/li><li>Most respondents say hiring military veterans is part of creating an inclusive culture at work (84%), and a large majority (86%) say it is an important part of a company\u2019s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).<\/li><li>But 2 in 3 (65%) say that most companies are not prepared to successfully attract, hire, and retain military veterans.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"tableau-viz-embed-container \">\n\t<tableau-viz\n\t\tclass=\"tableau-viz-embed\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/views\/SalutetoVeteransDay\/VeteransDay?:language=en-US&#038;:display_count=n&#038;:origin=viz_share_link\"\n\t\ttoolbar=\"hidden\"\n\t\thide-tabs\n\t><\/tableau-viz>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salesforce Military upskills, reskills veterans and active-duty military spouses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Workforce development is a natural extension of Salesforce\u2019s values. We want to empower a diverse and qualified workforce with the skills needed for the 21st Century to ensure their future success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six years ago, we started <a href=\"http:\/\/salesforce.com\/military\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Military<\/a>, a free program committed to upskilling military community members by offering one single certification for Salesforce Administrator roles. Those initial veteran training classes sparked a thriving Salesforce Military community that continues to grow today. Today, veterans, reservists, and active-duty military spouses are tackling Salesforce certifications for every cloud and industry, and successfully rising through the ranks at their companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then,<a href=\"https:\/\/veterans.force.com\/s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Salesforce Military<\/a> has upskilled and reskilled a growing community of military Trailblazers with high-demand technology skills and certifications, and helped them launch careers through the <a href=\"https:\/\/1.salesforce-partners.com\/talent-alliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Talent Alliance<\/a>. The Salesforce Talent Alliance consists of 700+ companies around the world that have pledged inclusive hiring practices and devoting 20% of their hiring to net new talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Existing military skills combined with Salesforce certifications can qualify a veteran for a job with an average starting salary of $87,000 annually. Since 2020, our investment of $2.2 million in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/Salesforce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Military Fellowship Program<\/a> to help provide work to unemployed veterans and military spouses, has yielded the equivalent of $9.3 million in annual salaries for veterans and military spouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That includes Military Trailblazers like Army veteran Kyle Morris, who founded his own company, Kicksaw, and is now part of the Talent Alliance which hires military talent to drive its companies growth. It also includes Air Force veteran Janelle Fields, who leveraged the Salesforce Military Fellowship Program to land a full-time software engineer role at USAA. Both Kyle and Janelle are examples of how military veterans have built fulfilling careers in technology through Salesforce Military.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large prevent-download\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"52578-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Veterans Day Conversation\" class=\"wp-image-52578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=300&amp;h=169 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=768&amp;h=432 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=576 1024w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=264&amp;h=149 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=500&amp;h=281 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=678&amp;h=381 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=150&amp;h=84 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=314&amp;h=177 314w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=343&amp;h=193 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Military Trailblazer Janelle Fields at Dreamforce 2021<\/em><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div id=\"52578-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large prevent-download\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Veterans Day Conversation\" class=\"wp-image-52578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=300&amp;h=169 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=768&amp;h=432 768w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=576 1024w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=264&amp;h=149 264w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=500&amp;h=281 500w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=678&amp;h=381 678w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=150&amp;h=84 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=314&amp;h=177 314w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/conv.jpg?w=343&amp;h=193 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption><em>Military Trailblazer Janelle Fields at Dreamforce 2021<\/em><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How customers and partners can access a diverse pool of military talent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe in building a workforce that better represents society \u2014 not just internally but through our partners and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our partners and customers at our side, we\u2019re prepared for a more thriving future built from the expertise and passion of diverse military Trailblazers.
