Read what our current participants say

The SAP culture has allowed me to learn widely through networking, overseas stints, knowledge transfers conducted by colleagues in my rotational departments and sharings with my fellow batchmates. It’s great for anyone who wishes to have an overview of finance functions and a taste for overseas exposure.
