Virtanza is on a Mission.

On any given day, regardless of the health of the economy, up to one third of all open positions in the United States are in sales, so it’s not surprising that half of all college graduates’ first job will be in sales. However, there is an ongoing dilemma in that only 3% of universities and colleges offer sales curriculum of any substance.

LinkedIn reports most recent quarter, Oct-Dec 2022, sales jobs are the #2 most in demand job after Nursing and ahead of Software Engineer.

There is ALWAYS demand for qualified sales talent across the U.S.!
