Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a significant paradigm shift in the technology industry, pushing businesses and society toward rapid transformation. With 94% of business leaders recognizing AI’s critical role in future success, the demand for relevant skills is rising sharply. To address this, initiatives have been launched to upskill millions worldwide, focusing on digital skills for underserved populations. SAP has expanded its efforts, offering more than 250 free, self-paced online courses, including new learning paths that integrate AI features. This expansion aims to prepare professionals for in-demand SAP certifications, helping organizations accelerate digital transformation.
SAP’s new role-based certifications cater to key roles like consultants, analysts, and architects, emphasizing practical experience over traditional degrees. This shift aligns with the increasing preference for skills-based hiring. Enhanced certification programs now include continuous assessments to ensure skill relevance and sustainability. Additionally, SAP’s digital skills initiative, which started in 2022, has seen significant success in equipping individuals from underrepresented groups for tech careers. With over 14,500 candidates trained, the initiative continues to bridge the talent gap, fostering diversity and innovation within the tech industry.
