SAP launches 12-week training program in Victoria

SAP has teamed up with Victoria University Polytechnic to launch a training program aimed at upskilling mid-career workers with high-demand digital skills.

The 12-week program, which forms part of the Victorian Government’s $63.8 million Digital Jobs program, will seek to meet growing demand for SAP skills in Australia.

An initial cohort of 38 workers will be taught learning modules focused on S/4 HANA Financial Accounting and S/4 HANA Management Accounting for SAP Consultants. They will then be provided with opportunities to apply for a 12-week work placement with a SAP customer or partner.

SAP Australia and New Zealand President and Managing Director Damien Bueno said the company is aware that many Australian organisations are still dealing with an ongoing skills shortage.

“To help solve this challenge and to ensure that our customers are able to grow and achieve their ambitions, we need to find new ways to attract and foster talent,” he said.

“Our partnership with Victoria University Polytechnic represents SAP’s commitment to creating new pathways for workers to access and further their technology skills in high-demand roles. Doing so also lifts the digital capabilities and experiences necessary for our customers and partners to succeed in this new digital economy.”
