Climb Hire

I had the pleasure of being a part of the Climb Hire program which has enabled me to learn numerous hard and soft skills pertaining to the tech industry, specifically within the Salesforce ecosystem. A typical work day with Climb Hire would be a 3-hour session, half the time I was being trained on the Salesforce platform, learning both the technical skills necessary to administer the program correctly, as well as how to prepare and pass the Salesforce Administrator exam. The other half of the session is geared toward soft-skill training that includes effective resume building, learning how to use LinkedIn as a professional tool, how to answer questions from interviewers and how to build a professional network. Both instructors are incredibly thorough in their teaching time, they answer any and all questions, and there is lots of grace to make mistakes and space to learn and grow. If you put in the work, these instructors will put in as much time and work in to ensure that you do not get left behind. 

The community of "Climbers" is probably the best quality of Climb Hire. Everyone learns to be aware of each other's needs and a culture of giving back and being generous is naturally developed. There was a very faint sense of competition, allowing the majority of our community to want to help each other succeed. It was truly a pleasure to get to know so many people who came from very similar backgrounds as my own. 

I joined Climb Hire coming from a retail background, unsure if it would be a good fit for me. After just a couple weeks I knew I had not only made the right decision to apply and join the program but was being given a huge opportunity. I could never make the career jump from retail to tech on my own, but through Climb Hire's amazing staff and community, I am now a Salesforce Certified Administrator, on a path toward a much more fulfilling and purposeful career. I have a plethora of soft skills to smoothly enter this new work environment, and the hard skills of Salesforce as well. The Salesforce Admin exam is very difficult and often takes more than one try to pass, but I was prepared enough by Climb Hire that I was able to pass on my first attempt.  

I can't recomd Climb Hire enough to those looking to make a career leap but who don't have the skills that will get them there on their own. I've never felt so supported within a learning environment and I am so grateful to this organization. Oh, by the way, I am legally blind and made it through. I was not the only disabled person in my cohort, but even if I was, I felt so supported and accomplished during my time in it. And even now! I now have a community of professionals and friends that I can rely on for a very long time. Please, apply for this program and see for yourself how great it is!

This is a great program for anyone who is tired of where they are now and wants to make a breakthrough in the tech industry. Salesforce is a huge platform where an individual can not only work as an administrator but use this skill set to land jobs in various different roles like customer success, analytical positions, growth operations among many others. This was the main thing that attracted me towards this program. Like any other start-up in the world, they had small hiccups but the way they navigated through it was a great learning experience for me.

They not only taught the technical skills but also included the opportunity to learn soft skills from current industry leaders and held social capital events where we had the opportunity to enrich our own connections and build new ones. They were thorough with their communications and made it clear to all of us regarding what we were stepping into.

This program is five-six months of intense hard work- learning new software, building one's personal and professional portfolio, and going on a lot of social capital events and meetings to connect with various industry leaders. Some events I would never dream about attending.

I completed this program while working two jobs and by the end, I used the technical skillset to land an internship with a prominent fintech start-up and used the soft-skills I learned to get myself promoted as a supervisor at my current job. And I believe if it worked out for me, it will work out for anyone. I have seen many people succeed way more than I did since graduating from this program.

The thing about this program is that you have to be willing to work really hard and learn and grow at the same time. We have to have that mindset to be willing to go out of our comfort zone and succeed.

If you're willing to put in that effort and believe that nothing in this world is given to us, this just might be the next thing you're looking for! They undoubtedly provide an amazing platform and training program for all of us to succeed.

ClimbHire is a training program for technical training skills and professional soft skills, with a mission of discovering hidden talent from people of diverse groups and backgrounds. Being apart of the ClimbHire Community has been a great experience that has keep me on track of my goals, and gave me the confidence to feel like I can actually achieve my goals. The company mottos includes building community, social capital, and doing the hard work. The program is still a baby (I myself belonging to the 2nd cohort), so you have to keep in mind they’re fairly new when there is a bit of disorganization.

 They will teach you a lot of soft skills and essential skills that will lead you getting the job! You have to be a self starter, motivated and willing to do the hard work. This program goes fast and coursework speeds up! As it pertains to learning Salesforce technical skills, ClimbHire offers you guidance while learning it, and some instruction time. I will say this as someone who completed the program and pass the Salesforce Admin Exam, you have to want it and spend much more time outside of class. 

It’s like your thirsty and ClimbHire leads you to the water it’s up to you to quench your thirst and drink that water! 

Great place to skill up, build social capital and get that job your looking for!

If you are stuck in a position where you don't have any room to grow and have no existing pathways, then this program can help by giving you access to the leaders, fellows, and other climbers' network. The main goal is to grasp a new opportunity for yourself that you initially didn't have, and so of course, it's not for the individuals who simply believe you can breeze through without putting in the work. the program can give you their resources and support, but the knowledge is up to the individual and by that mean, you must figure out your study habits and how much time you are willing to put into this. There is a payment that by the end you have to abide by when you get that new opportunity, but of course we provide you with the information of what is the criteria and it will be up to you if you want to move along. I personally went through the program and with hard work, constant exposure to the Salesforce community, I have achieved a new job in the process and have tripled what I was making when I worked only part-time. I had a few hours some nights and exhausted myself, but I understood the rewards in comparison to what I would still be doing if I hadn't taken the chance to trust the program. So new job, a community of individuals I can always come to for support, and a network of professionals I can now utilize moving forward with my career. I can definitely say I made a great decision that I would not know what I would do if I had decided not to apply for.

With the knowledge I gained from Climb Hire I have successfully earned my Salesforce Admin certification. During this program you are constantly challenged to push yourself to learn new skills and to refine old ones. Over the course of 5 months you will learn the knowledge needed to pass the Salesforce Admin certification exam, get hands on experience with the Salesforce platform, participate in mock technical interviews with leaders in the Salesforce ecosystem, gain insight on how to crush interviews, as well as how to best represent yourself on LinkedIn and in a resume. Connecting with others and gaining social capital with professionals throughout the ecosystem is another great benefit of this program. Creating a COVID-19 contact tracing app, presenting and demoing the app was a highlight for me and it is an experience that I look forward to showcasing in resumes and future interviews. Climb HIre is a nonprofit and the program is free upfront. You will only be asked to start  you land a job making 45k+, however if you take the course and fail to continue working on your salesforce skills, dont do your part in the job hunt, or fail to communicate after the program ends, you will be asked to start making payments. This has been a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has the ability to keep up with the coursework and is dedicated to improving their job prospects. 

Climb Hire helps hustling adults start/build a career in Salesforce Administration. Every session includes soft and hard skill development. Provided are valuable resources, access to tools, and extensive networking opportunities. 
Here are just a few of my highlights from beginning to end of engaging with the Climb Hire community: (1) In an inclusive learning environment, I learned how to execute Salesforce Administration duties. (2) I learned how to tailor my resume and what to expect for an interview breaking into the Salesforce Ecosystem. (3) I practiced with volunteer tech professionals (some from Salesforce) in 1:1 sessions, which were part of company organized events. (4) All study material was documented and easily accessible. (5) Lastly, working within a team, I gained real-world experience by creating a Salesforce App and formerly presenting it to a panel.  

Joining Climb Hire has been pivotal as an accelerated learning program and its doors remain open to its Climbers even after the 5 month training. It is a place that practices inclusivity and diversity. I always felt supported by management and contacts made through social capitalism. I only predict every following cohort will have improvements and the advantage of previous cohort feedback. 

When I joined Climb Hire, I thought it would be more of a class setting. It's not a class, it is more of a big webinar where people can share their stories and provide advice and feedback. There is an outline of assignments that we needed to complete. If you are expecting someone to hold your hand and walk you through Salesforce, then this is probably not the program for you.
If I learned anything, it is that networking is key. Leaning into the community and asking for help is something you will never regret. This is the perfect environment to start your path on transitioning into a career that will offer better opportunities. If you do it right, you will not only gain the skills and support to get your certification, you will also gain confidence in your decisions about what you want to do next. (Not to mention the new friends you'll make)

This program creates a community. Climb Hire has taught me the skills to navigate salesforce as an admin as well as the office culture that I was not well versed in. I know that I have made life long friendships through this program. It is very intense. Through completing the tasks that were assigned to me I built confidence. I had no idea what I was capable of before joining.
Nothing is paid upfront. The payment plan is set up so that you owe nothing until securing a well-paying job. The only caveat of that would be if no effort is made to contact them after completing the program. I am not sure why anyone would do that as they provide support and interview opportunities. If that happens then it is $150 /month for 4 years. This is explained before, during, and after completing. They also give people many opportunities to drop out before having to owe anything and have even coached some people out sensing that they would not be able to gain the full benefit.
The CEO is very hands-on and knows everyone by name.
This is the type of thing that gives you what you give into it.
I would recommend Climb Hire to anyone that feels stuck and is willing to put in hard work to gain valuable skills.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Witnessing the success stories of those people who go through the program and fully emerge themselves in the process. Receiving testimonials of how people have grown professionally/personally, and the positive financial impact that has created for them/families. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Wanting people to understand that this is not an easy program. It will challenge you to develop a "growth mindset." This is not a program where you can just show up and succeed. People will fail, but they have so many resources to help them improve and find success within our community. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Working at ClimbHire has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life. Everyone is working towards one common goal and that is the success of another individual. We practice what we preach here and that is the community aspect. Throughout the organization, you find people who are positive and want to help you reach the next step in your career goals by coaching you.

I was in the last cohort of trainees and it was a lot of hard work and dedication to the program. Meaning a lot of home work and a lot of learning new terms/concepts fast. That being said the benefits of the program go further than the content taught. You’ll gain a whole new network of professionals in a entirely new industry. I was a FedEx driver and now I’m closing in on a job at better.com making 55k! All thanks to my network at climbhire. I recommend the program to everyone that has the time and drive to take on a program like climb hire. They don’t ask for anything upfront and really only ask for roughly around 7,500 in the end but only after they’ve found you a job that makes over 45,000 a year. Forgot to mention each cohort is about 5-6months long. All things considered, I’ll be forever grateful for the community and friends I’ve made through climbhire.
