Resources to Skill Up from Home

Given the recent changes to schedules, workloads, and more, the Salesforce Partner team has compiled ways for partners and their employees to dive into professional development should circumstances allow. As Leah McGowen-Hare, VP of Trailhead Evangelism notes, “Learning helps to refocus the mind and create a sense of peace” and we hope these opportunities do just that.
