Revolent Launches ReSkill: a Unique Salesforce-accredited Talent Offering to Help Organizations Reskill Their Existing Workforces
In a post-pandemic world, cloud services like those provided by Salesforce, have replaced on-premise IT solutions at such an exponential rate that IDC now predicts the Salesforce economy alone will create 9.3 million new jobs and over $1.6 trillion in new business revenue, by 2026. Yet, despite the boom in digital transformation, the demand for skilled professionals still far outstrips supply, resulting in a large global cloud skills gap.
And with access to talent being a critical success factor for any organization that requires digital transformation – or wants to maintain an existing cloud-based system – businesses around the world are facing a huge dearth of the skilled professionals they need to keep up in a digital-first economy.
To help organizations level up their Salesforce team with the skills needed to take on new and more complex business requirements, Revolent – the cloud talent creation experts – have launched Revolent ReSkill.
Revolent ReSkill is a unique program that allows organizations to reskill consultants from other technologies or practices into Salesforce or upskill their existing workforce with advanced Salesforce certifications and consultancy skills, in order to solve their skills gaps, improve utilization, and meet the technical demands of more complex projects through Salesforce.
The Salesforce-accredited training program, which is currently available to Salesforce partners and customers in the US and EMEA, offers a unique blend of advanced certifications in industry and functional fields such as Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, and OmniStudio, as well as advanced consultancy skills training.
