ARPEDIO teams up with Blue Road Academy (formerly known as RefugeeForce) in supporting Copenhagen newcomers to launch their careers in the Salesforce ecosystem.
ARPEDIO is proud to announce our partnership with Blue Road Academy. In close collaboration and with extensive Salesforce expertise and industry knowledge, Blue Road Academy and ARPEDIO will facilitate the ideal environment for newcomers in Denmark to learn in-demand digital skills, grow their network, and launch their Salesforce careers.
“We are so pleased to launch our first ever program in Copenhagen with ARPEDIO. As a forward looking and inclusive partner, ARPEDIO has stepped up to host an amazing group of newcomers who are eager to launch their Salesforce careers. We look forward to seeing the success of this exciting collaboration.”
– Gaspar Rodriguez, MD and Co-founder of Blue Road Academy
About Blue Road Academy
Blue Road Academy is an award-winning social enterprise paving the way for newcomers to advance their careers with Salesforce training, professional development, and direct connections with top employers.
The program was founded in 2018 in Amsterdam with a clear mission “to create a more diverse, inclusive, and integrated community of technical professionals”. Since then, Blue Road Academy has actively worked to change both employers and the public’s perception of the skills and experience newcomers can bring to the table as they build new lives in their host country.
Together with local partners, Blue Road Academy creates a unique environment for newcomers to learn digital skills and technical leadership in order to bring new, world-class talent into the Salesforce ecosystem.

From Refugee to Salesforce Developer in 5 months
Sima Simara is a former Blue Road Academy participant with a remarkable story to share: Due to safety reasons, she was forced to flee her home country. Arriving in Amsterdam, Sima had to start from scratch because her university degree wasn’t eligible in the Netherlands. With no prior experience with technology, Sima joined the Blue Road Academy Program, and 5 months later she added ‘Salesforce Developer’ to her resume.
ARPEDIO Brings Blue Road Academy to Copenhagen
ARPEDIO is very proud to host the very first edition of Blue Road Academy in Copenhagen.
Previous Blue Road Academy programs have taken place in leading technology hubs such as Eindhoven, London, Berlin, Arnhem, Groningen, Amsterdam, and now ARPEDIO adds Copenhagen to the mix.
“ARPEDIO is very proud to partner with Blue Road Academy and bring their Salesforce training program to Copenhagen for the very first time. We look very much forward to taking part in helping Copenhagen newcomers find their place in tech and make them valuable assets to any Salesforce employer. We see a strong demand for Salesforce-related competencies from our clients, and to us, this is a great opportunity to bring even more talent into the Salesforce ecosystem.”
– Ulrik Monborg, CEO & Founder of ARPEDIO
Together with Blue Road Academy and Salesforce Denmark, we’ll provide a carefully planned program, personalized to each of the participants. The program features 20 technical training sessions, covering all components of the Salesforce Administrator Exam. Emphasis will be on scenarios, team exercises, and industry best practices, totaling 100+ hours of classroom training and 60+ hours of e-learning. Additionally, the program includes sessions led by experienced Salesforce professionals focused on career development. Each participant is paired with an ARPEDIO or Salesforce employee as a mentor to guide them in planning their journey within Salesforce and honing their career goals.
Besides acquiring technical proficiency in Salesforce, the participants will also obtain insight into implementation strategies, expand their professional network, and gain a clear understanding of their future role in the Salesforce community.
Introducing the Copenhagen Class 2023
Today (Monday January 23rd), we welcome 10 newcomers with a broad palette of interesting backgrounds into our office for a six-week comprehensive Salesforce training program.

“Diversity in the workplace is very important to us at ARPEDIO, and we see a big potential in welcoming these 10 newcomers with different backgrounds and nationalities to further enrich diversity and bring new ideas and perspectives to the table. Former Blue Road Academy programmes have led to some impressive results and success stories, and we hope that the Copenhagen edition will inspire the same.”
