Salesforce has announced plans to broaden access to free AI training through its Trailhead online platform, aiming to equip 100,000 additional students with essential AI skills. With AI becoming a transformative technology that nearly every business is investing in, the demand for AI training is rapidly increasing.

To meet this need, Salesforce is expanding its free AI training programs via Trailhead, which offers courses and certifications designed to enhance learners’ AI capabilities. These resources will be available until the end of 2025. At a time when employers need to upskill employees on artificial intelligence, Salesforce is at the ready.

In support of this initiative, Salesforce will open new spaces at its San Francisco headquarters, including a pop-up AI Center for in-person training and a dedicated floor for employees to develop AI skills. This expansion represents a million investment in workforce development, addressing the growing AI skills gap.

Salesforce aims to help every Trailblazer become an “Agentblazer,” a term for those trained on Salesforce products, by reaching 100,000 more learners through these offerings. Recent expansions to the Trailhead platform include AI-specific courses on fundamentals, ethical AI use, and prompting.

Since June 2023, over 2.6 million AI and data badges have been earned by employees, jobseekers, and learners, unlocking critical skills. “AI and agents are reshaping how people work, and it’s essential that everyone has the skills to thrive in this new landscape,” said Brian Millham, president and COO of Salesforce.

Tectonic credits Salesforce for offering equal training opportunities for partners, consultants, job seekers, and users.
