Digital Skills Initiative Applicant Guide (For self-study candidates)

[David_Chaviano]

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

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.

Exception: Pre-existing SAP professionals within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) will no longer be considered for this initiative. The share of free certifications distributed to professionals within the Middle East and North Africa has been high and the remaining certifications will be now be reserved for newcomers to the SAP ecosystem. 

Campaign code redemption requests from MENA will no longer be accepted.  Newcomers from MENA are asked to sign up as instructed below, then present their first name, last name, street address and national ID number along with their SAP Learning Journey completion to digitalskills@sap.com to receive their free certification attempt. Thank you for understanding.

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  

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

With a degree in industrial engineering, I have a 2-year experience as production engineer in France for an actor in the aeronautics field. I have been an SAP end-user during this work experience as well as my internships, especially the PP and MM modules. This reinforced my interested in ERP systems in general, and SAP particularly.

Hello @David_Chaviano ,

My name is Ana Luiza Passos and I am Brazilian. I am 26 years old. I participated in an SAP implementation and since then I have been studying and seeking a position in the field. Due to the high cost of certification, I would be happy to acquire it for free. I believe I need to obtain this certification because I am a black woman and the first generation in my family to pursue post-graduate studies.

I have great admiration for working with SAP because I see how this technology can transform business processes. It's fascinating to observe the significant impact technology can have. I am motivated to continue learning and developing in this area, aspiring to build a solid and rewarding career.

I am excited about the opportunity to attempt a free certification, as I believe it will provide me with a valuable chance to learn and enhance my skills. I am grateful for this opportunity and excited about the future possibilities it may bring.

I sincerely thank you for considering my application for the free certification attempt.

Hi,

Gostaria de ajuda para escolher o idioma do teste. Não tem a opção de português na corrida C_TS412_2021. Vou escolher o inglês, mas gostaria de usar a ferramenta de tradução e vi que isso é possível. Tenho que sinalizar isso de alguma forma quando programo o teste?

Ou isso é aconselhado e escolhido apenas no momento do teste? Como posso me preparar para essa solicitação? Você pode me ajudar por favor? Gostaria de entender como proceder para ter acesso a essa opção da ferramenta de tradução ao fazer o teste. Obrigado

Hello @David_Chaviano,

I'm a transitioning military logistics officer, and a first generation college graduate. Although I work in logistics for the US Army, I consider the transition to logistics in the civilian sector to be a "mid-life" career change(the late 20's aren't too mid-life, but I don't feel as young as a once was).

I'd like to enter the SAP ecosystem, but I don't believe my limited experience will suffice. This is a fantastic program that I'd greatly like to be considered for. Thank you!

Hoping you can consider me on this program and looking forward to more initiatives like this!

[Kara_Davis]

Hello! I have used a learning portal available to veterans for another software company, so I was thrilled to see SAP has a similar (although more broad) opportunity. 

I am a female veteran working in consulting. My role is a management consultant role, but I work with technology delivery teams closely. 
With the recent change to ECC support, I’ve seen many SAP opportunities. 
I’d love to learn more about the product to be a better partner to both the business and delivery teams on my digital transformation projects. 

I live in a rural area where a military base and hospital provide most employment. This type of opportunity would help me build the skills to stay relevant and support SAP implementation/migration projects.

I appreciate the consideration, and, again, am so glad SAP has a program like this!

[CzynJay]

Hi @David_Chaviano 

Thank you for this generous opportunity to enable the underprivileged and discriminated. I am a technical consultant based out of Malaysia and currently pursuing my studies for SAP ABAP Cloud Back-end certification.

Hello @David_Chaviano 

I am Yesim Aydin, and I can identify myself in the following categories:

- Women
- Single parents
- People in remote or underserved areas who may not have access to the same economic opportunities as their urban or more privileged counterparts
- Minorities who may not have equal opportunities in their geographical locations
- First-generation university students

For the past 2 years, I have been working as a Business Solutions Specialist in IT departments. I want to transition fully into the SAP field, where I aim to make an impact and learn about the latest trends, technologies, and developments. I hold a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science.I provided project management and end-user support in one full-cycle SAP digital transformation project. However, my consultancy training is lacking. I aim to become a proficient SAP professional.

I am eager to obtain SAP certifications, specifically in ABAP, Integration, or in modules that I am passionate about, and to leverage my education and skills to become a part of the global SAP ecosystem consisting of customers and business partners. I am currently seeking employment, and I believe that obtaining certification will facilitate this process. Additionally, I aspire to work with global companies rather than solely in my own country.

This is truly a fantastic initiative by SAP and a great opportunity for me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

I'm currently diving into the "Exploring the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition Implementation Fundamentals" path and eager to see where it takes me. If there's any way I can participate in the digital skills initiative, even if in a slightly different capacity, I'd love to hear more!

[COUTINHOMARI]

Hi @David_Chaviano 

Thank you for this incredible opportunity.

In a world where opportunities often seem distant, I stand as a testament to the power of resilience and determination. As a woman, a mother, an immigrant and a person looking to switch their careers mid-life I have traversed various challenges, each one shaping me into the person I am today.

As an immigrant, I left behind the familiarity of my homeland in search of a better, safer life for myself and my kids. The path was arduous, fraught with obstacles and moments of doubt. Yet, with each step forward, I reaffirmed my commitment to forging a brighter future, one built on the foundations of hard work and perseverance.

Now, as I contemplate my career transition - becoming an ABAP developer - I am filled with both excitement and trepidation. I embrace this opportunity for growth, to expand my skill set and explore new avenues of possibility.

The SAP certification program offers a chance to acquire valuable skills that can open doors to a world of opportunities. For someone like me, this opportunity is nothing short of a godsend. It represents not just a chance to enhance my employability but also a means to provide a better future for my family.

To be selected for this program would be an amazing opportunity, a validation of my efforts and a testament to the power of perseverance. It would signify more than just a professional milestone; it would be another symbol of hope, a beacon lighting the way forward.

Thanks and regards!
