Introducing Salesforce Learning Paths — The Magic of Trailhead Now Inside Salesforce

Salesforce Learning Paths empowers companies of any size and industry to skill up their employees with just-in-time, personalized learning in the flow of work. Heather Conklin Follow Apr 28 · 4 min read

Since launching in 2014, Trailhead has had a monumental impact on the lives of more than 3 million learners. By reducing the barriers to learning, Trailhead is paving an equal pathway to top jobs in the Salesforce ecosystem.

As we continue to drive Trailhead’s mission of accessible learning for all, we’re passionate about empowering Salesforce’s customers for today’s all-digital, work-from-anywhere world.

To do so, our customers need Salesforce and digitally-skilled employees now more than ever before.

Chart your company’s learning journey

This last year has fundamentally changed everything. We’ve all been forced to find new ways to learn, work, connect, and collaborate. For companies, this has meant pivoting to digital — fast!

As businesses go digital-first, one major challenge for organizations of all industries and sizes is an accelerated digital skills gap. In order to succeed, many companies need a pathway to empower their employees to skill up from anywhere.

And employees are eager for opportunities to learn. According to a recent study, 94% of employees say they would stay at their company longer if the company invested in learning, but a majority of employees feel they aren’t offered opportunities to grow their skills.

Empower your company to go digital fast

With Trailhead’s suite of products and services, you can empower your company to go digital fast and grow your employees’ careers. Regardless of where your company is at, Trailhead provides learning for every stage of your digital transformation.

Starting with free on-demand learning and access for your employees to get hands-on with Salesforce technology, all the way to your own customized learning platform with myTrailhead.

The new way of work demands a new way to learn. How employees learn has undoubtedly changed forever. Gone are the days of weeks-long in-person training and in-person onboarding. On-the-job learning needs to be completely digital, meeting employees where they are.

I’m excited to announce that we’re making it seamless for employees to learn directly in the flow of work where they spend the majority of their time — Salesforce — with new Salesforce Learning Paths.
