SAP Early Talent for HR strategically places you in three different teams to maximize your business potential and personal growth at the same time. There are endless opportunities to broaden your HR perspective and help you maximize your skills and strengths as you meet different people and see how they run.
SAP’s HR Early Talent Program is the perfect platform for my development and career trajectory. Through cross-functional and cross-regional network expansion, experiences in each of the three HR organizations, and countless stretch assignments, I feel fully prepared to take on a huge variety of roles upon completion of the program.
SAP HR Early Talent Program will take you to meet different people in the world, let you experience different HR roles in the company and help you find the key to your future career.
The coaching and mentoring structure of SAP is so great, that I have learned a lot during my HR Early Talent journey. From having coaching sessions with your peers and colleagues who are specialists in different areas and topics in HR to being mentored by subject-matter experts and HR leaders for trends and amazing HR topics, the HR Early Talent program and its network of experts doesn’t bat an eye on you, on your profile, expertise and background – you just have to be open to learn and grow with the people you work with in the team.
Rotating across different roles, locations and cultures is one of the most impactful and exciting things to broaden your perspective. Thinking beyond silos allows you to learn about all facets of HR and critically reflect yourself.
Being part of the SAP family in the headquarters in Walldorf enables me to develop myself in various HR skills & competencies. Responsibility for assigned projects and learning comes first within the program and supported me in becoming an HR generalist. I would highly recommend the trainee program to ambitious and HR interested graduates, to start a journey you will never forget.
The program did not only extend my horizon in terms of network and HR experience, it also positioned my skills and strengths strategically so I can be fully maximized in the current and future roles. There is a wealth of opportunity and learning that awaits HR Early Talents.
What I loved about the program is the opportunity to join three teams and explore different roles within and beyond of HR. It was a year that allowed me to better understand what my strengths are and which path I want to follow after the program ends. Although the program's duration is one year, you will receive an unlimited contract from the beginning and will continue your journey at SAP.

The HR Early Talent program has taught me many key skills in a very short space of time. Some of the key skills I would highlight that I have learnt are – how to deal with emotional intelligence, how to develop a growth mindset and working with constant change. I would highly encourage individuals to apply for this program to increase their HR knowledge and work with a highly skilled and talented workforce on a global scale.
