BadgeCert, the leading provider of digital badging and credentialing, has partnered with Drexel University to launch a credential training program for Salesforce, one of the world’s most popular customer relationship management services.

In January 2020, 13 program graduates from across Philadelphia completed this credential training program offered through Drexel University’s Beachell Family Learning Center’s workforce development programs with 19 super badges (or micro-credentials), and one certified Salesforce Administrator in the CRM software. Program graduates are scheduled to complete the Salesforce Administrator certification by spring 2021.

The Salesforce credentialing training program, which was powered by BadgeCert, was offered through one-time grant funding as part of an institutional commitment to serve Drexel’s neighbors by facilitating opportunities for technology skills development. Participants shared that the rapidly changing job market in the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged them to apply to the program.
