This exciting 12-month program is designed to give graduates exposure to both solution engineering and sales.

What does our new EMEA Graduate Program look like?
The program is structured as follows
Introduction Month
During your first month, you will receive extensive onboarding enablement through a Salesforce-style academy, where you will:
Become immersed in the culture of Salesforce and gain a deep understanding of our values
Develop an understanding of our solutions, technologies, and tools
Learn critical professional skills for your career at Salesforce
Follow a structured learning calendar with sessions and hands-on workshops led by experts and program alumni
Rotations
During the Graduate Program, you will experience both the Solution Engineering Path and the Sales Path. The structure of each rotation is similar: you will spend 60% of your time immersed in the role with clear tasks, targets, and stakeholder alignment, while the remaining 40% will focus on role-specific learning. You will be paired with experienced buddies in each path.
If your first rotation (months 2 through 4) is in Solution Engineering, you will then join the Sales Graduate Rotation from months 5 through 7, and vice versa. Over these six months, you will gain exposure to both roles. The time spent mastering the fundamentals of these complementary disciplines will enable you to be more productive and impactful upon promotion.
Throughout the rotations, there will be self-paced certifications and skills assessments. You must meet all eligibility criteria before you can panel for promotion.

Posting Statement
Salesforce is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a policy of non-discrimination with all employees and applicants for employment. What does that mean exactly? It means that at Salesforce, we believe in equality for all. And we believe we can lead the path to equality in part by creating a workplace that’s inclusive, and free from discrimination. Know your rights: workplace discrimination is illegal. Any employee or potential employee will be assessed on the basis of merit, competence and qualifications – without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, transgender status, age, disability, veteran or marital status, political viewpoint, or other classifications protected by law. This policy applies to current and prospective employees, no matter where they are in their Salesforce employment journey. It also applies to recruiting, hiring, job assignment, compensation, promotion, benefits, training, assessment of job performance, discipline, termination, and everything in between. Recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions at Salesforce are fair and based on merit. The same goes for compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, reduction in workforce, recall, training, and education.
