From the Salesforce Blog:

New technologies are creating new jobs globally. The Salesforce ecosystem alone will create 2 million jobs by 2020—covering a broad spectrum of business and technical career paths. Unfortunately 80% of companies struggle to find skilled talent to fill these jobs. The loss in productivity caused by this skills gap costs companies a staggering $1.3 trillion dollars per year. While students should be a great source of new talent, employers say recent grads don’t have the skills they need.

After interviewing a number of applicants, the Alagille Syndrome Alliance chose me to lead their Salesforce expansion efforts. Alagille syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the liver, heart, kidney, and other systems of the body. Problems associated with the disorder generally become evident in infancy or early childhood.

Thanks go to Catchafire.org for bringing us together. Catchafire matches professionals with nonprofits based on their skills, cause interest and time availability.  It’s been a great couple of weeks. Custom objects, reports, and even training are on the list.

 For this project I’ll be using the Agile Accelerator app (free) released by Salesforce labs

Now I will be leveraging the same app used in-house by Salesforce developers
