Announcing Zen In Tech

Zen In Tech (ZNT) is excited set to begin its 2nd Zen Camp in Salesforce Administration on Tuesday, March 9, 2021. This training program was developed as a non-profit pilot curriculum to train and certify students as Salesforce Administrators. 

Zen Camp is a one-of-a-kind guided interactive experience with resident expert Sheldon Callahan: a Tech Evangelist, former Salesforce and current Robert Half Employee, three-time Dreamforce Speaker, and Shaolin Master. It consists of 2 weekly live online classes in a six-week course. The students have access to class recordings, course materials, and community during and after the class's completion. Students have weekly assignments and system administration homework individually reviewed and checked by the certifying instructor.

Students add value to their resumes through learning Salesforce Administration and earn points on Salesforce's site Trailhead; and establish, develop and maintain three simple practices: 

• Mindfulness and body awareness in the usage, learning, and adoption of technology in life and business. 

• Valuing people over technology and wisdom over knowledge in life and business.

• Find sustainable healthy paths to learn and use technology in daily life and work situations.

The original pilot program featured eight students of color, over 50% of them women, and seven of whom completed the program and received program certification in the presence of the VP of the Trailblazer Community and Trailhead Evangelism at Salesforce, Leah McGowen. Two of our graduates have already gone on to work in professional Salesforce technical roles, including Accenture, and the other hired as a Salesforce Administrator for Deep Root Center for Spiritual Studies.

ZNT is a one-of-a-kind Career Wellness & Mindfulness-In-Work program developed by the Deep Root Center for Spiritual Studies, a 501c3 Nonprofit. 

Zen Camp is committed to:

• Providing people with marketable technical skills to support career success.

• Teaching how to administer Salesforce and earn points on the Salesforce Trailhead site.

• Learning mindful self-care techniques that encompasses breath, posture, and awareness exercises to anchor learning, focus, and concentration; improving the quality of life.

 ZNT has created training material that helps people to take on cloud computing and remote working jobs. We endow people with the proper skills to take control of their careers and livelihoods. Hence, Zen Camp is our answer to the digital divide, burnout, and work-life balance. APPLY TODAY!
