Provar Joins With Supermums to Address Talent Shortage in Salesforce Automation

Upskilling women in Salesforce and Salesforce app testing to add more skilled professionals to the ranks of highly skilled technology workers. 

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.—April 20, 2022 — In a focused effort to address the acute shortage of technical talent in the Salesforce ecosystem, Provar has become a partner and sponsor of the Supermums Admin Course in the United States. The course equips trainees with foundational, in-demand skills in cloud computing and the Salesforce CRM platform.

Provar leads in test automation for Salesforce and Salesforce applications. In the wake of COVID-era workforce challenges, Provar sees this partnership as a meaningful step. It aims to bridge the tech talent shortage and address the decline in women’s employment. By 2026, Salesforce estimates it will create 9.3 million jobs globally. Provar actively raises awareness and increases trainee numbers for this program in the United States.

At the beginning of the pandemic, women made up 39 percent of global employment but accounted for 54 percent of overall job losses when a 2020 report by McKinsey was released. In tandem, the shortage of skilled talent in the workforce could result in 85 million jobs going unfulfilled by 2030, according to a report by Korn Ferry.

Upskilling the workforce is one solution to this challenge. Supermums focuses on training women and other professionals in the Salesforce ecosystem. It offers work experience, mentoring, coaching, and job readiness support. Provar is committed to supporting this mission.

“At Provar, we recognize that we have an opportunity to elevate women and specifically mothers, a vital segment of the global workforce, through alliances like the new partnership that we’ve created with SuperMums,” shares Geraint Waters, co-founder and CEO of Provar. “We’re thrilled to support their mission and community by promoting training in Salesforce-specific skills that benefit everyone involved.”

“I’m delighted to be working with Provar to help upskill women and the rest of our Salesforce talent community,” comments Heather Black, CEO of Supermums. “Having skills and knowledge in a trusted set of products is valuable in the toolbox of any Salesforce Professional. It adds value to our CV and supports confidence and career progression by building credibility. This new initiative and partnership will help us enhance our mission one step further.”
