Skilling and ensuring the readiness of the future workforce for the economic and technological changes expected over the next decade is crucial.

"With Trailhead, our free online learning platform, learners don't need to carry six figures in debt to land a top job; instead, anyone with an Internet connection can now have an equal pathway to landing a job in the Salesforce Economy."
