“Utah State University Extension’s Sales Professional & Leadership Accelerator Program addresses Utah’s growing demand for skilled sales professionals and first-line supervisors in the tech sector. Supported by Talent Ready Utah’s Utah Works funding, the program prepares job seekers—especially from rural and underrepresented communities—for success in high-growth, high-wage sales roles with leading tech employers like MarketStar, ApplicantPro, Contravent, and Weave.
Through micro-credentialed training in business-to-business (B2B) sales, customer service, remote work, and leadership development, the program provides flexible, job-aligned learning pathways for both pre-employment and early-employment participants. Graduates receive preferred hiring consideration and direct connections to hundreds of projected job openings across partner organizations. This program model exemplifies how strategic industry-academic collaboration can rapidly scale a high-quality workforce pipeline tailored to meet tech industry demands.”
