SAP has introduced a new online training program in its latest bid to close the SAP skills gap in the information and communication technology (ICT) market.
The SAP Student Academy program covers core SAP certification tracks in the major market categories of business applications, database and technology, analytics and mobile.
It is a joint initiative between SAP Education and the SAP University Alliances program that aims to “increase the placement of SAP certification curricula within the university sector through the provision of high-value, electronic learning content”, the company stated.
“SAP Student Academy marks a big step forward for SAP and its ecosystem to build qualified SAP resources in the market at the university level and across all SAP solution areas, including the SAP HANA platform,” said Markus Schwarz, senior vice president and global head, SAP Education.
“Arming students with knowledge of SAP solutions can give them an extra advantage as they leave university and enter the workforce. Equally important, the online learning format provides students with the flexibility to access course content when they want and from the device of their choice.”
SAP is offering the e-learning content within SAP Student Academy at a reduced rate for universities in its effort to foster co-development with university students.
“For universities, SAP Student Academy provides a unique opportunity to complement existing education programs with professional learning content and training systems from SAP and allows universities to become part of the wider SAP network,” said Ann Rosenberg, global head of SAP University Alliances.
“By broadening their curricula to include more SAP content, educators can help their students attain full SAP certification.”
The SAP Student Academy program is available now.
