PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THE BUSINESS WORLD
Today’s students are tomorrow’s workers. Unfortunately, however,
even the best school and university courses can have blind
spots: All too often, graduates embark on their subsequent
careers with no knowledge of the workings of business – a serious
deficit for the graduates and for their future employers.
SAP has risen to this educational challenge.
As early as 1988, we launched a university alliances program,
a form of collaboration with universities that is unique in
the information technology industry. In courses using SAP
technology, students gain hands-on experience with proven
business methods and current trends in business process
management.
Today, almost 130,000 students benefit
from participation in SAP University Alliances at more than
500 universities in 36 countries. The results have verified SAP’s
approach. Graduates of the program are unique. They think
in terms of business processes and so are able to establish themselves
in the business world much more quickly. And as their
careers progress, they use the knowledge they have gained,
developing new ideas and innovative approaches.
A PERSONAL COMMITMENT
SAP continues to seek out
collaborative opportunities for sustainable social and cultural
projects, and for initiatives in education and research. These
endeavors all have the same ideal in common: They are kindled
by the personal commitment of SAP employees around
the world. And time and again they demonstrate that, just as
at work, the most resounding successes are those achieved by
real partners working toward shared goals. |
