Company description

As market leader in enterprise application software, SAP helps companies of all sizes and industries innovate through simplification. From the back office to the boardroom, warehouse to storefront, on premise to cloud, desktop to mobile device - SAP empowers people and organizations to work together more efficiently and use business insight more effectively to stay ahead of the competition. SAP applications and services enable customers to operate profitably, adapt continuously, and grow sustainably.

Purpose and objectives

Founded in November 2012, the SAP Digital Skills Center (formerly TDI) strives to support the creation of sustainable work possibilities by boosting the business system knowledge and entrepreneurial mindset of students, young graduates, and the experienced workforce in the region. By offering a host of programs tailored to bring SAP business skills to those who have a cultural and social understanding of a local region, the SAP DSC's initiatives help talented minds not only to find jobs but also to establish their own companies by nurturing their entrepreneurial mindset. Furthermore, SAP DSC serves as a think tank for knowledge exchange, co-creation, and co-innovation. Operating in a fast-paced "start-up" environment, the SAP DSC requires employees with a hands-on and multi-tasking mentality.

As one of the DSC's successful programs, SAP's Dual Study Program combines and alternates theory (Academia & SAP) and practice (SAP Workplace Experience) into a 1-2 year program run by universities in cooperation with SAP. Over the course of the program, students will gain a combination of SAP solution skills and certifications, paired with soft skill training and practical experience through internships.
