SAP HANA
The SAP Next Talent Program was a perfect fit for me as a data scientist early in my career. My network expanded through a diverse cohort of other early talents, guided mentorship, and introductions to SAP leaders. The rotations enabled me to broaden my data science and business knowledge and to find a team that aligned with my career aspirations. Corporate social responsibility is important to me, so I am proud to be a part of a tech company that prides itself on diversity, inclusion, environmental, and ethical standards.

SAP HANA
When I first joined SAP Next Talent, I didn't know which field of computer science was right for me. Not only did this program pave the way for my journey of self-discovery - it also grew my network, strengthened my confidence, and developed my sense of belonging at SAP. I rotated onto teams working with Artificial Intelligence and DevOps, and now I’m beginning my career as a fullstack developer. I’m thrilled to see what my future holds next in store!

SAP Ariba
The mentorship was (and continues to be!) incredible. Throughout my SNT journey — from the 2-week onboarding process, to rotating onto 2 different teams, and finally graduating into a full-time team — I was immersed in SAP’s people-first culture. The projects I took on were catered to what I was interested in learning and exploring — from things like Web Accessibility and Automated Testing, to AWS and Kubernetes (to name just a few!). There are so many learning and mentorship opportunities to leverage in this program — I truly felt empowered to take risks and keep exploring new realms of software development, which led me to be a valuable developer to my now-team.

SAP Concur
Having left university with a plethora of theory, the SAP Next Talent program allowed me to dive into different styles of roles within Data Science, allowing me to figure exactly what I wanted in my career. I worked as an individual through its rotational structure, providing me with the business acumen and insight through meetings and chats with key players in SAP vision to understand how to truly work in a large corporation and leave long-lasting impact that will span far past my own immediate contribution. The SAP Next Talent program helped turn the mindset of “getting a job” into “building a career.

Being a new grad from college, the SAP Next Talent program really advocated for my success and development as a UX Designer from Day One.
