Accelerate your future, redefine your summer.

Salesforce is launching a brand new program, Futureforce Tech Launchpad, powered by CodePath. This paid 10-week summer pre-internship program for rising juniors (Class of 2024), will take place at the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco. This hands-on immersive experience combines a technical curriculum and 1-1 mentorship to make students job-ready. As part of the curriculum, students will learn full stack web development, engineering soft skills, and be assigned capstone projects centering around web development and design fundamentals. Applications are now closed.

Futureforce Tech Launchpad

During this 10-week hands-on program students will be introduced to full-stack web development, gaining an understanding of database, back-end code, front-end code, testing, design, and deployment. Each day, students will participate in team meetings and workshops, with teaching assistants available for support. During the second half of the program, students will develop a capstone project of their own design.

The program provides cutting edge curriculum and 1:1 mentorship—supplementing college Computer Science programs—to bridge the gap between academic understanding and practical professional experience. We encourage Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous students to apply as well as veterans and students with disabilities.

Students are expected to participate daily, Monday-Friday, from 9am to 5pm PT. This program will take place at Salesforce's San Francisco office. Students across the US are welcome to apply. Travel and relocation expenses for the duration of the program will be covered.
