Chapter 5: Improving Business Results and Impact through Learning and Intelligent Support
SAP delivers innovations to accelerate workforce transformation, helping every company build a path toward technical transformation
SAP is announcing a variety of new learning offerings as part of a growing initiative to educate, certify, and employ people in the SAP ecosystem.
The new learning offerings include:
- Free access to learning resources from SAP for all students worldwide
- Enhanced low-code, no-code (LCNC) offerings for citizen developers
- An expanded and refreshed skill validation program
SAP now provides free access for all students to tailored learning resources and experiences in the “student zone” of the SAP Learning portal. This includes access to free SAP Learning Journey guides to build skills in key SAP software innovation areas and exclusive SAP Learning Journey guides for students to learn about end-to-end business processes for the intelligent enterprise. It provides additional access to certification opportunities for students.
SAP is also launching an enhanced learning journey that prepares for our new certifications for LCNC skills. It supports nontechnical users with little to no experience in writing code, accrediting the skills developed in the LCNC learning journey and supporting the growing need for accelerated app development.
To increase the visibility of careers in the SAP ecosystem and broaden the base of professionals with SAP software expertise, we’re also introducing a simplified and expanded skill validation program that measures foundational solution expertise and offers skills certification for intermediate and advanced levels.
