PROGRAMS
Through the HBCU Forward Program, we partner with HBCU faculty and career services to introduce college students to SaaS (software as a service) technologies like Salesforce and the various career paths associated with these technologies.

Through the Community Forward Program, we establish and leverage relationships with schools and nonprofits servicing minority and underserved communities to equip those organizations with the resources, instructors, training, and guidance needed to introduce them to technologies and career opportunities.
The Forward into Tech Program works to clear the path to certification for minorities and individuals in underserved communities who are pursuing Salesforce, AWS, or other SaaS (software as a service) careers by providing cost-effective and flexible training programs.
