The digital transformation has been underway for years, but its speed accelerates every day, meaning we see changes in jobs very quickly. No doubt, it puts millions of people at risk for unemployment. At the same time, it also opens up new opportunities for people with new skills. We are talking about millions of people, but would it change our minds when we give them faces and share their stories?
SAP has set itself the goal of helping these people and counteracting the threat of rising unemployment at an early stage. People to Work by SAP is available globally and delivered by local SAP partners to improve the living conditions of people through publicly-funded training to become an SAP software consultants, developers, or users. 400k+ people have reskilled or added skills, 80% found a job right after completion of the training and certification, and thousands have upskilled as SAP users, developers, and consultants. These numbers sound great but it is only a tiny percentage of whats needed. So, let me share what we are doing to inspire all to start the same journey.
