About

Through the City of San Francisco’s Civic Bridge program, Salesforce worked with SF MOHCD, OEWD, OCI, and community-based organizations in your neighborhood. We developed training focused on developing skills in entrepreneurship and e-commerce. The curriculum will help individuals launch their own business, grow their new business, and have basic digital literacy skills. Organized in modules, the training ensures participants can remember concepts. It also makes it easier for instructors to customize the training to meet the needs of their students. We have instructor guides and resources, so all who want to host the training can be successful.  For questions, please contact, Reymon LaChaux, reymon.lachaux@sfgov.org.
