Bengaluru, Karnataka, India:  
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The Pride Circle Foundation. Salesforce will be the knowledge partner for the TRANSformation program - aimed at empowering the LGBTQIA+ community for employability and entrepreneurship and the Youth Changemaker program where LGBTQIA+ & Ally students problem-solve on projects aimed at increasing LGBTQIA+ inclusion in education. 
 
Pride Circle Foundation is a non-profit that works actively to uplift, and empower the LGBTQIA+ community in India and enable them to reach their full potential. This is achieved by providing them access to programs, tools, and resources for skilling, mentorship, employability, entrepreneurship & other support services.
 
Trailhead is Salesforce’s accessible online learning platform that helps anyone skill up for opportunities in the Salesforce ecosystem. Leveraging Trailhead for the TRANSformation program and the Youth Changemaker program, Salesforce will empower the LGBTQIA+ community with the opportunity to achieve in-demand skills, resume-worthy credentials, and connect with the Salesforce community for mentorship and networking opportunities. Salesforce will also build modules focused on skilling for employability for unskilled and semi-skilled transgender beneficiaries across tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Beneficiaries will improve their skills through sessions on resume writing, interview skills, corporate etiquette, and more. Upon completion of the program, Pride Circle Foundation will continue to support the beneficiaries through various programs like RISE Job Fair, Road to RISE, and offline hiring. The program will follow a hybrid structure of virtual and in-person training.
