Hello there and thank you for your interest in the digital skills initiative by SAP Learning!

The digital skills initiative is intended to help those who are generally considered to be underrepresented in the technology industry get a kick start in their careers within the SAP Ecosystem.

The definition of people considered to be underrepresented in the technology industry varies by geographic location. However, we can provide the following guideline to help you understand the sort of people we are looking to support with this initiative:

• Military veterans and their spouses, family and caregivers
• Women
• Single parents
• People who are physically disabled or neurodivergent
• People in remote or underserved locations that may be not have access to the same economic opportunities as their urban or more privileged counterparts 
• Minorities who may not have equal opportunity in their geographic location 
• First generation college students
• People looking to switch their careers mid-life
• People who lack the financial means to afford a certification attempt for themselves

If you identify as a person in one or several of these categories, the digital skills initiative might be for you. The final prerequisite is a willingness to learn more about SAP and to undergo the rigors of studying for SAP Certification.

Here are the next steps on how to proceed:

Step 1 – Create an SAP Account

You will need an SAP account to track your studies and take a certification exam. Watch the demo in this blog for help on how to do that. Please use the same email address that you intend on registering with the digital skills initiative.

Also be sure to join the beginner corner as demonstrated in the demo – this is how you can reach out and ask questions.

Step 2 - Let us know you are interested

Either leave a comment below or start a discussion in the beginner corner stating a clear interest in participating in the digital skills initiative. Feel free to include a bit about yourself like academic / professional background and why you feel you are a good fit to the program. We will send you a registration link to the initiative via direct message. Please ensure private messaging is enabled on your profile.

Another key reason for this step is if you need help with part of a learning journey that you selected (in step 4 below), you can come back here (the beginner corner) to ask for help.

Step 3 – Make sure you have context

We have a long blog available attempting to explain the whole "learning SAP" process from beginning to certification. Take from it what you need to ensure getting certified in SAP is worth the effort to you.

Step 4 - Begin studying

Pick a learning journey that best fits your interests which also leads to a certification. Any learning journey and any exam is covered by this program. Study it to completion, then send a screenshot of the completion & your SAP Community username to digitalskills@sap.com  before 1 December 2024.

Here is a guide on how to determine if your learning journey is free of charge.

Step 5 – Receiving your certification attempt

After your learning journey completion is sent to digitalskills@sap.com, please give us some time to process your request. You will receive a redemption code for your SAP certification attempt as soon as we can get one to you.

• Please log into the SAP Training Shop  with the same email address that you registered with the digital skills initiative and place this product into your shopping basket.
• From there, follow this guide on how to use this campaign code to “pay” for your certification attempt.
• If you run into trouble with your code redemption, follow this guide.

Please redeem the code ASAP when you receive it. You can schedule the actual exam up to six month after redemption.

Step 6 - Schedule your exam

Hi David,

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

I identify as a person fitted to the criteria as I am neurodivergent, first generation of college graduate in my family, and also just spent only less than a year in implementing SAP. I need this opportunity to get a certificate in order to kickstart my career and have a firm stand in the market.

I love working for SAP because of the ever-changing and developing nature of it, creating more chances to learn and grow each day.

I'm grateful for this opportunity and thank you for your consideration.

[Erika_SAP]

Hello SAP Community,

My name is Erika, and I am excited to join this vibrant community. I spent 7 years in fintech, where I developed a passion
for establishing data-based decisions in HR operations. Growing up in
Hungary, I obtained my diploma before moving to Switzerland. My career
began in a classical HR manager position, but I soon found my passion
in HR digitization.

Throughout my career, I have realized how many biases and distorting
factors exist in performance management. I look forward to a new "world order" where these issues are addressed and improved.

Currently, I am facing a challenging period as my contract is coming
to an end, and finding a new job in Switzerland has been tough due to
the competitive HR market. Despite these challenges, I am determined
to advance my career in HR digitization.

I have noticed that over 50% of large Swiss organizations use SAP
SuccessFactors, and it has become my dream to become a professional in
this field. I am eager to connect with fellow professionals, learn
from your experiences, and contribute to the community.

Looking forward to the big learning journey and engaging with you all!

Best regards,

[MuhammadAhmed]

Hello @David_Chaviano 

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity provided by SAP through the Digital Skills Initiative. As someone currently working with a well-known company that is implementing core SAP modules—FI, CO, MM, PP, SD, QM, and PM—I have dedicated the past year to deepening my knowledge in SAP FI and CO using resources from the SAP Learning Hub and other platforms.

Living in Pakistan, I’ve found the cost of certification to be quite high due to exchange rates, which has made it challenging for me to pursue this credential. However, my hands-on experience during our SAP implementation has only fueled my enthusiasm for gaining formal certification.

This program would not only validate my skills but also enhance my ability to contribute effectively to my organization's SAP journey. I am eager to seize this opportunity and look forward to potentially achieving SAP Certification for Certified Application Associate for Management Accounting (CO) through this initiative. Thank you, SAP, for making such a valuable program accessible to professionals like me!

Thanks & Regards,
Muhammad Ahmed.
