SAP Korea recently announced that it is accepting applications for its “Corporate Cloud-based Financial Application Developer Training Course,” which offers software development training to anyone looking for work in the industry.
In recent years, SAP Korea has been working closely with both the private and public sector in order to promote the adoption of cloud technology. One example of this is the partnership with Microsoft and Doosan to develop the “Delightful Digital Workplace”, which integrates solutions such as SAP Sales Cloud, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP SuccessFactors. Doosan’s continuous performance management capability was developed by SAP and Microsoft in a co-innovation initiative to maintain organizational agility, boost employee engagement, and facilitate global teamwork.
In 2020, SAP Korea and Naver Business Platform also signed a strategic business alliance for public cloud collaboration. This was done in order to facilitate the transformation of the South Korean government into what is being referred to as a “intelligent government.” The purpose of the collaboration is to deliver cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and Big Data platform services to the public sector of the country in order to encourage a culture of data-driven innovation.
Additionally, the Korean subsidiary of the German enterprise software giant established the SAP Young Next Cloud Academy — which is a no-cost, hands-on cloud-based education program — in partnership with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s K-Digital Training Program, and the Vocational Competency Review and Assessment Service. Program participants will be taught by active-duty consultants with experience in similar fields how to use Platform as a service (PaaS)-based cloud platforms to create a wide variety of cloud-based applications, as well as how to create a private or on-premise app for a hybrid cloud service by leveraging PaaS cloud.
New Cloud Training Course Launched by SAP Korea
The company is so dedicated to promoting education within the IT sector that it has developed a training program to further cultivate talents in the software field, with a focus on the practical competencies needed in the business sector. The program is run as part of the education brand “SeSAC (Seoul Software Academy)” of the “Youth Employment Academy,” an initiative of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Industry Promotion Agency to foster software innovation capabilities. (InsideSAP Asia often references articles from websites in other languages to bring you as much information as possible.)
From 2018 to 2022, SAP Korea ran a series of similar programs designed to help nurture the careers of 716 aspiring software developers. Through training, job placement assistance, and ongoing monitoring, the tech giant has successfully increased its education completion rate to 100% and its employment placement rate to 92%.
Commenting on the latest training program’s launch, Eun-Young Shin, President and Chief Executive Officer at SAP Korea Ltd., said in a statement:
“SAP Korea is proud to be able to continuously contribute to the development of software talent and market growth in Korea. We will do our best to nurture talented people who can be put into the future.”
Through a field-tailored curriculum and instructors made up of current consultants, the course equips participants with the knowledge necessary to design and implement SAP S/4HANA cloud-based financial business processes and applications. Upon graduation, students will have access to an employment link program that will help them find work as IT consultants and developers using the same server and practice environment used by real companies.
Trainees are being sought until October 3 from residents of Seoul who are interested in working in the field of software. The training itself will run from October 24 through February 15 of next year. Anyone over the age of 15 who does not have employment insurance in Seoul can apply to enroll in the course. The Youth Employment Academy offers this program at no cost to the participants at its Geumcheon Campus.
