This week on The Technopath Way, Sarah is talking with Rebecca Tasetano and Ruby Menon about their experiences before and after joining the NPSP Training Program earlier this year.
Tame the NPSP Learning Overwhelm
* Have a real person to talk to when you’re stuck
* Check your trainer’s credentials before diving in
* Why is this person qualified to teach me about this topic?
* Use the resources you have
* Both women discussed how having the course materials and the study guide have continued to help them in their careers as nonprofit Salesforce consultants
* Make sure to actually dive into the study resources you’ve got around you - you get out what you put in!
* Tap into community
* The NPSP Academy connects current students and other nonprofit Salesforce enthusiasts to have a space where people can collaborate, ask questions and find community support
* While in the Training Program, both Ruby and Rebecca mentioned how they were so glad to have a group of other people at the same experience level as them so they didn’t have to feel concerned about whether or not their questions seemed too basic
* Trailhead is great, but it can be a lonely experience. Find a buddy interested in a similar learning path inside the NPSP Academy and study together!
