9.3 million new sales jobs available in the next three years could remain unfilled due to a lack of skills
It is to address this need that BEAT Academy was created, offering a unique and high-quality training program tailored to the concrete needs of the workforce, with the support of a consortium of six major companies who, together with H-FARM College, have designed and built an excellent educational proposal.
BEAT Academy focuses on Sales Intelligence, which encompasses all the skills necessary to plan and manage the digital user experience for purchasing goods or services.
Currently, these skills are not easily found in the job market, as there is often a gap between the knowledge acquired in universities and the skills required to manage business processes facilitated by CRM and ERP software.
A funded, qualified, and customized training experience
BEAT Academy consists of four phases:
instructional (learning), placement (work placement), enhancing weekends (completion and enrichment of training), and continuous learning (continuing learning even after starting to work).
The Academy is funded by a consortium of companies committed to providing a concrete response to the increasing demand for training, not only in our country.
