SAP, an industry leader in enterprise application software, is in a unique position to assist businesses of all sizes by providing a comprehensive training catalog and numerous educational opportunities. In the past few years, SAP Education has been actively working together with a variety of other authorized training providers in order to meet the growing need for upskilling among the Indian working population.

Just last year, SpringPeople became a member of the ever-expanding list of SAP Education partners in India. The provider of IT training for businesses revealed that it had been given the responsibility of providing more than 750 companies with the most recent SAP resources and technologies. The collaboration includes the expansion of SAP Education’s array of tools within customers’ organizations.

SpringPeople Founder and Chief Executive Officer Peeush Bajpai stated that along with SAP, SpringPeople focused on addressing the existing gap in the market for customizable, enterprise-focused, SAP curriculum and course alternatives that enable the workplace preparation of future professionals.

With SpringPeople and SAP Education’s partnership, participants had the opportunity to obtain SAP Cloud Certifications, participate in SAP Security Boot Camps, take part in exclusive private training batches that included hands-on practice on live SAP Servers, create individualized training batches for SAP content, and platform, and subscribe to SAP Learning Hub.

Moreover, SpringPeople also hosted a series of free SAP Career Info sessions last April for recent graduates and working professionals who were willing to pursue a well-paying and extremely in-demand career in the SAP segment. During the workshop, an experienced SAP Subject Matter Expert gave a presentation, which was then followed by a question and answer session, providing an opportunity to address questions and concerns that attendees had regarding a career in SAP Consulting and Advisory.

Delivering SAP Global Certification Initiatives to Upskill the Indian Workforce

According to SpringPeople, a few aspects of SAP contribute to the increasing demand for certified SAP professionals in the market today. These include:

• By 2022, SAP will have a global need for 55,000 consultants.
• India will be solely responsible for the development of 35,000 certified consultants and will be a significant contributor to the formation of an SAP pool of resources.
• In the field of worldwide consulting, SAP consultants earn some of the highest salaries, unlike any other specialists.
• It is anticipated that the number of SAP experts would increase by 60% by the year 2024, which will result in the creation of $260 billion worth of career possibilities worldwide.

This month, the SAP Training Program for recent college graduates and working professionals was officially introduced by SpringPeople. Founded in 2009, the ed-tech instiution offers live mentor guidance from experienced and qualified SAP consultants with exceptional infrastructure, as well as support for mock tests and mock interviews.

Headquartered in Bangalore, Karnataka, SpringPeople is also well-known for offering unlimited interview arrangements in addition to their 100% placement support. The training provider’s most recent learning modules and versions for SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) and SAP HANA include functional modules, technical modules, techno-functional modules, as well as niche and advanced modules for SAP Hybris, SAP Ariba, SAP HANA, SAP GRC, SAP EWM, SAP TM, SAP TRM, SAP IBP, SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Fiori, and SAP Fieldglass.

Emerging technologies and the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic have drastically changed the workplace itself. While the events of last year accelerated the pace of digital transformation, it has also significantly changed the types of skills organisations need to operate their businesses in this new era of work.

According to a report published by the World Economic Forum, governments and businesses should work together to help people adapt to the jobs of the future by collaborating on new methods in hiring potentials and skills, co-funding training programs, and deploying online learning support for all. Additionally, WEF estimates that 42{aa282f308afcc222aaa21b0478c79e01a8fedd01972e2180867097bd93930f22} of the core skills required for jobs will change by 2022.

Maxwell Wessel, Chief Learning Officer at SAP, said:

“While digital transformation has brought about a tremendous amount of progress and innovation, it has also changed jobs as we know them today and has put many people at risk of unemployment.”

Learning and Development Opportunities for the Future of Employment

SAP is uniquely positioned to contribute to the global reskilling initiative with its vast program offerings designed to help people attain relevant skills to secure decent, meaningful jobs.

Its online training platform openSAP has been known in the SAP ecosystem as the provider of innovative, expert-led learning Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at zero cost. Recently hitting five million course enrollments, openSAP has been helping new learners outside the SAP community including students, teachers, and other professionals stay up-to-date with the latest SAP software, solutions, and technologies.

While SAP remains committed to delivering its own programs, it has also been collaborating with other organisations to further tackle the challenge of reskilling the future workforce. SAP is one of the 25 companies and institutions that have expressed support for the WEF’s Global Challenge Initiative on Employment, Skills and Human Capital along with other tech giants such as Siemens and Microsoft Corporation.

By mobilising business, civil society leaders, and governments to take action and raising awareness of the key issues, WEF’s initiative aims to reshape the future of employment, education, and skills.

Access to SAP Software Training Through People to Work by SAP

The global expansion of People to Work by SAP once again reinforces the tech giant’s commitment to improving the living conditions of people worldwide through publicly-funded SAP software training and certification programs.

Catered to job seekers, those who are threatened by unemployment and underemployment, and employees who need to reskill due to shifting job requirements, People to Work by SAP offers a wide range of country-specific training options to equip people with the right skills and help them re-enter the job market.

Delivered by an extensive partner network, the program utilises high-quality learning tools provided by SAP and awards learners with SAP Global Certification digital badges to verify their competence. Explaining the focus of the publicly-funded program, which is available through SAP education partners, Wessel shared:

“To help counteract the rising unemployment at an early stage, the People to Work program by SAP focuses on helping people who are looking to get back into employment, while enabling them to develop the digital skills that are necessary to thrive in the future workforce.”

Juergen Mueller, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Board Member at SAP, deemed the global expansion as an important step in the right direction. He said in a LinkedIn post:

“Through this program, we help people reskill due to changing job requirements or get back into employment by offering social competencies, soft and digital skills training. Education is key to personal growth and economic success.”

The program, which has assisted more than 400,000 job seekers and professionals in reskilling or acquiring new skills, was first launched in Germany. It has already expanded to countries such as Denmark and South Korea.
