Upskill. Volunteer. Impact.
A volunteer program that pairs nonprofits with junior Salesforce admins — mentored by seasoned experts — to deliver real projects that grow careers and missions.
One problem, three sides
The Technical Collective was born from an age-old problem in the Salesforce ecosystem — where each group has exactly what another is missing.
Junior admins can't get a start
Certified but stuck — without real-world experience, landing that first role is hard.
Nonprofits need help
Donated Salesforce licenses, but limited resources to set them up or maintain them.
Experts want to give back
Seasoned pros are ready to mentor — they just need the structure to do it well.
We bring all three together: juniors gain experience, nonprofits get support, and experts share their craft.
A win-win-win ecosystem
The Technical Collective aims to create value for everyone it touches.
For inexperienced admins
Provide a clear pathway to gain real-world project experience while being mentored by seasoned professionals.
For experienced professionals
Offer a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community, mentor upcoming talent, and support non-profits.
For non-profits
Help charities maximise their Salesforce investment and impact, all while minimising technical debt.
For the ecosystem
Bridge the technical skills gap in the Salesforce community.
