SAP Korea’s innovative training initiative, a corporate cloud-based program, has garnered commendation from the Mayor of Seoul. This unique educational endeavor, executed under the auspices of the Seoul Software Academy (SeSAC) and the Youth Employment Academy, is designed to foster software innovation talent. This recognition signifies the SAP training program’s substantial contribution to nurturing financial application developers.
Employment-Focused SAP Training Program
The SAP training program, spearheaded by SAP Korea’s CEO Eunyoung Shin, stands out for its rigorous and relevant curriculum. It focuses on imparting in-depth knowledge of SAP S/4HANA cloud-based financial processes and program development. What sets this program apart is its blend of theory and practice. It employs a field-tailored curriculum taught by active consultants, ensuring that participants gain hands-on experience with servers and environments used in actual business settings.
Another key aspect of the SAP training program is its emphasis on employment. Participants are not only trained to understand complex software systems but also prepared for roles as financial module operators, developers, and IT consultants. This holistic approach is evident in the program’s impressive outcomes: a 100% completion rate and a 100% employment rate among the participants.
Collaboration with Seoul Economic Promotion Agency
The success of the SAP training program can be attributed to the strategic partnership with the Seoul Economic Promotion Agency. Under the guidance of CEO Eunyoung Shin, this collaboration has been pivotal in aligning the program’s objectives with the industry’s needs. The synergy between SAP Korea and the agency has been instrumental in creating a fertile ground for developing software talent, as evidenced by the high recruitment competition rate of 5.4:1.

The program is not just for those with a background in ICT, business, or economics. It inclusively opens doors for non-majors, providing them with a unique opportunity to venture into the world of software development. This inclusive approach is a testament to SAP’s commitment to diversifying the talent pool in the software industry.
Eunyoung Shin’s leadership at SAP Korea has been marked by a decade-long commitment to enhancing domestic software competitiveness. The CEO’s vision has been instrumental in shaping various human resources training programs, culminating in the successful completion of this award-winning course. This initiative reflects SAP Korea’s dedication to supporting young talent in the corporate software sector.
Aligning with National Talent Cultivation Efforts
SAP’s involvement in the government’s efforts to cultivate talents in critical technologies is notable. The company has been an integral part of the Innovative Growth Youth Talent Concentration Training Program, led by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIP) and the Institute of Information & communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP). This program focuses on key technologies like Big Data, blockchain, AI, and more, highlighting SAP’s role in creating high-quality jobs in the software industry, especially for the youth.
The youth talent training initiative under SAP’s guidance goes beyond traditional learning. It encompasses sharing insights about the cloud industry and providing practical software development skills aimed at employment in project-based companies. This approach aligns with SAP’s global strategy, as evidenced by the involvement of Rudolf Held, Vice President and Global Head of Partner Innovation Lab at SAP.
SAP Korea’s training program, under the astute leadership of CEO Eunyoung Shin, has established itself as a beacon of innovation and excellence in the software industry. By aligning with the government’s talent cultivation initiatives and leveraging strategic partnerships, SAP Korea is not only enhancing software competitiveness domestically but also shaping a new generation of industry-ready professionals. This program, with its comprehensive curriculum, employment focus, and inclusive approach, is setting new standards in software education and talent development, paving the way for a more robust and diverse software industry in Seoul and beyond.
