UPES School of Computer Science

School of Computer Science (SoCS) at UPES, in a pioneering move that reinforces the university’s commitment to industry-aligned education, partnered with Salesforce, to formally launch the Salesforce-skilled talent ecosystem at UPES. This first-of-its-kind initiative in Uttarakhand marks a significant milestone for UPES and exemplifies its belief in co-creating future-ready learning ecosystems in collaboration with global industry leaders.

The partnership was inaugurated through Salesforce Day @ UPES, themed “Talent. Purpose. Partners. – Co-Creating the Ecosystem of Tomorrow.”
The event brought together leaders from Salesforce and its global partner network including TCS, Wipro and IBM to drive strategic dialogue, mentorship, and skill pathways for students.

Key pillars of the Salesforce-skilled talent ecosystem include:

• Certification-Driven Skilling: pathways for students to pursue Salesforce Associate, Admin, Developer, and advanced AI/CRM certifications.
• Curriculum Integration: faculty–industry collaboration to enrich coursework with real-world use cases in automation, customer data platforms (CDP), low-code/no-code technologies, and intelligent workflows.
• High-Impact Talent Pipeline: direct alignment with the Salesforce partner ecosystem, enabling students to access internships, hiring pathways, and project opportunities.

With a strong focus on AI, cloud, automation, customer experience, and enterprise data, the Salesforce ecosystem at UPES empowers students to contribute effectively to modern digital transformation initiatives from day one.

The launch marks a transformative step in UPES’s mission to build global digital talent, strengthening academia–industry collaboration and shaping a future-facing learning environment for the next generation of cloud and CRM professionals.
