To help solve this challenge and to ensure that our customers are able to grow and achieve their ambitions, we need to find new ways to attract and foster talent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our partnership with Victoria University Polytechnic represents SAP\u2019s commitment to creating new pathways for workers to access and further their technology skills in high-demand roles. Doing so also lifts the digital capabilities and experiences necessary for our customers and partners to succeed in this new digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>VUP\u2019s Wayne Butson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Vocational Education added, \u201cWe know that solving the digital skills crisis requires close partnership with industry, which is why we\u2019re excited to partner with SAP to create a highly relevant and targeted course that equips talent with the digital skills that businesses need now and in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new training program has been welcomed by participants, such as Deepa Nair and Margit Robertson, who have been looking to elevate their career by incorporating new digital skills.<\/p>\n<p>On being selected for the SAP program, Nair said, \u201cI wanted to pursue a career change that would give me the technical expertise to consult on digital transformation projects. I\u2019m excited to take the skills I acquire from this program into a new role as either a technical program or project manager, enhancing business value and supporting organisations in their digital transformation with SAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Robertson added, \u201cWith a background in circular economy consulting I applied for this program to better understand how businesses can incorporate data transparency to foster innovation and sustainable growth. I\u2019m looking forward to developing my expertise through this course so that I can pursue a career that enables me to help businesses become intelligent, sustainable enterprises with SAP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This new partnership follows several existing initiatives from SAP aimed at upskilling Australians in digital skills, including a partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/australia\/2023\/02\/24\/sap-supports-the-future-of-digital-skills-training\/\">TAFE NSW<\/a> announced earlier this year, the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/australia\/2022\/04\/14\/victoria-university-to-host-australias-first-sap-academy\/\">SAP Academy in partnership with Victoria University<\/a>, SAP\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/2022\/11\/sap-coursera-partnership-digital-skills-underrepresented-groups\/\">partnership with Coursera<\/a> and low-code solution <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/2022\/11\/sap-build-at-sap-teched-power-to-the-people\/\">SAP Build<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MELBOURNE \u2013 SAP SE\u00a0today announced it has partnered with Victoria University Polytechnic to deliver a training program which seeks to meet the growing demand for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":6017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[41,5565401],"tags":[],"sapn-display":[3848,5565405,5565406,60294],"sapn-type":[4446],"class_list":["post-6015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecosystem","category-training","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-news-hero","sapn-display-news-spotlight","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SAP Partners with Victoria University Polytechnic to Boost Digital Skills in Australia - SAP Australia &amp;
