Navigating the job market is tricky, especially for recent graduates facing an ever-widening talent gap between employer expectations and student skill sets. Employers are searching for graduates fluent in both technical know-how and professional skills. It all makes sense, but where can students even get the kind of experience that drives that fluency? Conveniently, Illinois Tech’s Elevate program has helped bridge that gap; its holistic design provides hands-on experience and tailored training, ensuring that you’re ready to shine on day one of your career.

It’s not just about understanding the ins and outs of the world’s #1 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform; it’s about developing digital fluency.

From mastering the skills to build apps on Salesforce, to understanding how data drives business decisions, the program covers both technical and professional competencies that today’s employers are desperate to find.
Through course content and labs that are based on real-world scenarios, the Salesforce Foundations program provides students opportunities to put their knowledge into practice and develop the critical tools they need to stand out.
