Learning about the platform on which your association management software (AMS) is built helps you level up your skills and make the most of your technology investment.
Here’s how Salesforce Trailhead works and how the Nimble AMS myTrailhead helps customers upskill, reskill, and get more out of their software.
Up-levelling and rebuilding staff skills is critically important when it comes to keeping an organization going strong. According to LinkedIn Learning’s 5th Annual Workplace Learning Report, the largest enterprises globally have been investing heavily in arming their employees with the skills needed to meet today’s demands. In the report, learning and development professionals listed upskilling and reskilling as a top area of focus for their programs in 2021.
What does that mean for your association? Just think about your association management software (AMS). It’s the technology that helps your association manage membership and operations. Shouldn’t your staff have an effective way to continually learn how to use it to its fullest – especially as new innovations are released and the software evolves?

Salesforce makes it easy for organizations to learn about the platform through Salesforce Trailhead.
