Around the world, there are plenty of programs to help you get started on your Salesforce career. We hope to start a searchable resource here to guide people through the sometimes overwhelming volume of places to go. Trailhead is a no brainer for online training resources, but what else is there? To start us off, here's a few places to explore.
