We are excited to have the latest cohort of 6 trainees’ mums start their work experience next week, providing 36 free days of salesforce support to charities.
As part of our social enterprise mission at our Company, we are supporting mums into work and charities to access subsidised support for Salesforce implementations with our Salesforce Supermums Programme—it’s a perfect blend for our consultancy, which everyone, including our team, trainees, clients, and partners, including Salesforce.org and the Sage Foundation, is excited about!
Our benefiting charities for this trainee cohort include: Justice and Care , Mission Housing, Aspire Oxford, Centre for Better Health , Herts Viewpoint , and Made in Hackney
So how does it work?
After 3 months in training, the trainees are flexing their newly honed Salesforce admin skills in real-life projects. To prepare them for work experience, they have benefited from expert instruction from Clio, our programme trainer (previously a senior instructor at Salesforce), Salesforce.com guest speakers, completed 40 trailhead badges, and practised their skills in a dev org.
Over the next 6 weeks the trainees will be putting into practice their salesforce admin skills, applying different admin skills each week to build a real Salesforce platform guided and mentored by our in-house team. They do all the admin work virtually from home, committing 14 hours a week around childcare responsibility. Our senior consultants lead on the design of the Salesforce platform and produce a workbook for the trainees to give them clear guidance and instruction on what to build.
The Outcome…
The finished Salesforce product will support our charities with their fundraising, volunteer management, IAG, social service solutions, plus more!
Since the launch of our Salesforce Supermum Programme in November 2016, it has supported 19 charities with 91 days of free support delivered by 13 trainees.
With the combination of experience, training and confidence, we are successfully placing our graduate mums into work.
