SAP Offers Professionals New Digital Learning and Certification
SAP News, Wednesday, January 31st, 2024
SAP SE announced the launch of a new guided premium learning offering with SAP Learning Hub and an enhanced certification program including a new role-based certification for SAP S/4HANA Cloud implementation consultants.
The demand for skilled IT professionals is expected to grow dramatically - up 23% by 2031 in the United States alone, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. To help meet this demand, the new role-based certification for implementation consultants of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition emphasizes core skills and competencies that can be applied across various cloud solutions from SAP and related versions.
'The pace of change and the talent shortage call for a new approach to identifying future-focused skills and roles. Instead of focusing on traditional aspects like degrees, job histories and titles, professional competencies become more important,' says Andre Bechtold, senior vice president and head of solution and innovation experience at SAP. 'By transitioning to role-based certifications that focus on core skills and competencies, the skillset of a learner becomes more valuable and gains sustainability and more relevance for longer periods of time.'
