I have tried to search for information and programs for High School Students to self teach with some specific guided track or advisor so that high school students can learn and do projects later take the actual certifications free to add to their resume and possibly get recruited by Salesforce themselves. Early recruitment and training helps cherry pick good talent self starters. This info is not easily found or is generically listed out when searched for on this hub or that. Is this something salesforce offers to high school students direct from Trailblazer and Salesforce or is this something that they are trying to sale to Education boards for profits even if it excludes minority or students who can't afford those fees even at 50% off like they offer non-profits? To be frank it is frustrating when you have read like 50 postings and each salesforce person says to refer to the other hub and search for all that related info which is not easy to find. Left hand see Right hand back to left hand who's empty handed. As a consultant, generic empty answers leads to generic answers that invite going down other paths when parents and high school students ask me how to get ahead because they are super bored in this no student left behind mentality that leaves the more gifted students mind distressingly unchallenged.
PS. I have about 50-100 people asking the similarly same direct questions and many more than that are looking for similar answers and asking more indirect questions about how to learn current or future skills that I would like to steer them down the salesforce path not because you have the best products or offer competitive pricing or the coolaid mentality that is often present, but mainly due to the decently well designed trailblazer gamification of that platform. It even encourages me who has to train on everything for process and knowledge base to prioritize learning salesforce as a decently fully integrated product (still a lot of room for improvement).
