Given the ubiquity of SAP in the enterprise sector, boning up on the latest SAP capabilities is critical for next year. These changes are crucial right now, as enterprise IT departments are preparing for extensive modernization programs in 2022. “And 13,000 formally engaged in learning rooms with peers.
“Last year at our week-long SAP TechEd developer event, we had more than 80,000 register for our learning offerings,” Wessel said. The learning programs at SAP are especially popular with developers. In addition, all registered learners on the SAP Learning Site will receive a discount on select Placement services and access to Placement’s Job Board (promotion valid until November 2022). The first 1,000 developers who complete a certification exam on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) through the new SAP Learning site will get a voucher for services like resume and LinkedIn screening and career coaching.
SAP is also partnering with Placement, a career coaching service firm that helps candidates connect with-and ideally join-their preferred employers. Information on all courses can be found on the SAP Learning site. Topics include SAP’s extension and integration suite, SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, and low-code/no-code for citizen developers. The skill level needed for these courses-and their associated certificates-ranges from beginner to intermediate. The courses on the newly launched SAP Learning site vary significantly, “going from what used to be multi-hundred-page courses to what are now 15- or 30-minute modules arranged in tailored, consumable learning journeys,” said Wessel, executive vice-president and Chief Learning Officer at SAP. Image Credits: SAP (opens in a new window) IT recruiting today is quite difficult, especially in the cybersecurity arena, and these courses and certificates should lessen that pain. The CIOs win as the universe of SAP talent they can hire sharply increases. Developers themselves love these learning offerings as a way to build up new skills and certificates, which in turn makes them more marketable. New certifications on the team will help ensure the competency of internal project leaders and, depending on the nature of the business, could help win more business where SAP is a critical factor-in fact, some 77 percent of the world’s transactions touch an SAP system. This should prove decidedly helpful when trying to develop everything needed from LOBs for 2022, but it also has other likely benefits. For the CIO, this move has the strong potential to increase the universe of properly trained SAP talent. This should help developers get direct access to in-demand skills, by making it easier to complete training and prepare for certification. Most of these newly-free courses are sufficient to secure some of SAP’s top certifications. These are jobs with real-life impact 18 out of the 20 largest Covid supply chains were built on SAP.”
“In the U.S., there were about 40K jobs posted in the SAP ecosystem in the last 14 days-let alone the rest of the world. He added that the popularity of SAP-and the value of its training-is evident when looking at job boards. We are not competing with training companies,” said Max Wessel, executive vice president and Chief Learning Officer of SAP. Few consider enterprise-software giant SAP as a solution to this problem-yet SAP has committed to helping with the cost barrier of learning by removing fees for seven of its most popular courses. For the typical enterprise IT department or developer today, keeping on top of the latest strategic programming areas is necessary, but also time-consuming and expensive.
