Recently, we announced that we will be giving away free seats to the unemployed in our virtual and in-person NYC Salesforce admin training courses from now until the end of May. For those who are currently unemployed and are finding it difficult to find a job due to a lack of technical skills, this is a great opportunity to get trained. Our 3-day Salesforce admin course is valued at $2400. Once you have completed the course, you can take the Salesforce Admin Certification exam and then we will even help you get placed. In 2011, we placed over 400 Salesforce professionals nationwide at salaries ranging from 90-100k. Having the right skills in this economy really does pay off!

As the largest salesforce.com convention on the East Coast, we chose Cloudforce NYC as the venue to announce our big promotion. Instead of the typical in-booth marketing tactics, we decided to take it outside the Javits Center and stage a mock protest. We announced our free training and told Cloudforce attendees how Bluewolf was planning on helping the unemployed get jobs. We designed bold and impactful picket signs with unemployment and training stats. Our posters also told stories about the importance in today’s job market of staying educated on the latest technologies. Our fun shirts relayed our campaign and announced to everyone that passed by what we were doing. The attendees had a great reaction to what we were doing.

In addition to giving away free training, we are also looking for video submissions from people who are unemployed, underemployed, or looking to change careers. We want to hear your story! You can check out the details in this blog post.

If you are unemployed and want to take part in our free training, please visit our unemployment benefits page to sign up now!
