Development Programs For Mba Grads

SAP recently launched a new initiative, SAP Graduate Academy, which recruits recent college graduates (MBAs & undergrads) for an 11-month rotational training program. They are provided with a highly experiential learning environment giving them a wide foundation of SAP, its business model, solutions, processes and organization. The participants will spend 6-week rotations in hands-on learning through multiple lines of business and between those rotations they will participate in various classroom and eLearning sessions taking a deeper dive into our culture, products and solutions. They will also be trained to represent SAP and build their own digital brand through use of social media. I have the opportunity to share the SAP Community Network with them tomorrow, August 4, 2011, and will invite them to introduce themselves to the community by commenting on this blog. Please give them a warm welcome to SCN! Hello Community, My name is Lauren Fellure and I’m a member of the Graduate Academy.

I just graduated with my JD/MBA from Ohio State University in June. I did my undergrad at Ohio Wesleyan University where I majored in Psychology. During my time at Ohio State, I studied abroad at Oxford Law School in England, worked for Bank of America in Hong Kong, and recently did legal work for Scotts Miracle-Gro. I’m looking forward to the rotational program and to networking with everyone in the Community.

It really is a great time to join SAP! It’s an interesting concept. I’ve read the blog and still don’t really understand what that means. “6 weeks learning various classroom and eLearning sessions taking a deeper dive into our culture, products and solution” Oh well, I’m sure I will at some point. I’m not sure what you are doing outside of the rotation.

Goodness – Oxford Law School. You don’t do things the easy way. It will be interesting hearing more about you, and why you decided to join SAP. From Psychology to SAP an interesting jump. That makes me wonder about the program even more. Cool you’ve got my interest. Now the same question besides SAP what do you do for fun?

I know maybe another blog. Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond. Yes, I do (attempt to) have hobbies. Currently, I’m trying to get to know the city better. I love music, especially somewhat random alternative/lesser-known bands/artists and local bands. I also like jazz so I’ve been going to Time (Sansom St.) on jazz nights.

I love travelling and hope to be able to do some non-work international travelling soon again I also really enjoy participating in outdoor sports – skiing, hiking and biking – and playing basketball. Oh, and dancing. I recently took up ballroom, but I had to take a break for awhile because it was getting expensive. Finally, and, most importantly, I have a severe weakness for red wine and good beer. What about everyone else? Someone using yet another acronym.

Now people will see it in other places and wonder what it stands for! (I’ll be one of those in the know) “Fire hose” – Oh boy – That’s almost as bad as saying you were in jail or initiated.

My goodness, it makes me wonder even more about the program. Fun – What do you do for fun? I mean besides SAP. What a big goal. Moving SAP forward to the 2015 goals and beyond.

You will be taking on a lot of work. A whole lot of work. No wonder why you are all so serious. Welcome to the SCN family! I look forward to hearing some more from you, Michelle. Central Michigan University! That’s kind of in my area.

(I’ve been to the Soaring Eagle. That is very pretty.) I live in Western Michigan.

And yes, I did go to Western too. So we went to rival colleges. Part of the University Alliance. I’ve been hearing a lot about that program. My friend Tammy is filling us in. Perhaps a blog from you about it?

I know again I’m getting ahead of myself. All you “guys” are writing about SAPish type stuff.

What do you do for fun? I know SAP is fun! I love it too. But you have to have other interests. Maybe those will be in the upcoming blogs.

Welcome to an awesome community – and what sounds like a great experience! Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Mike Fraim and I am a member of the new Graduate Academy program here at SAP. I am a recent undergrad from West Chester University where I studied Business Management and Business Geographics as well as stayed busy working as an intern in Global IT – O2C here at SAP since November. I am extremely excited about this rewarding opportunity and have already set my goal to be a lifer here at SAP 🙂 I look forward to working with all of you and doing my best to network and learn everything possible about SAP and continue working my hardest, and going above and beyond as an employee as well as on a personal level.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I look forward to a rewarding career here at SAP!

Welcome Mike! I’m looking forward to hearing about you more! I’d love to hear about your perspective about the program. Each person is bound to have something different that they hated / loved about it. I’m glad to hear about you – and others in the response to this blog. But hey – you guys do something other than SAP, right? But maybe not.

I bet the program is pretty intense. Lifer at SAP. Now that sounds like Jail time. As I am ALWAYS saying it is fun!

So maybe I’m an everlasting fan of SAP. (Although the cubes sometime feel like a jail cell) Look forward to hearing more from you. Hey everyone, my name is David Kargman.

I graduated with my BA in Business & Economics from Ursinus College in 2009. I interned at UBS Financial Services in Northfield, NJ working for two financial planners. Upon graduating, I took a position for about a year at a small financial software company not far from NSQ. During this time, I began my MBA at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia. I just recently finished my MBA, and I was lucky to enough to be given this opportunity at SAP. I was really looking for a program/position that was structured and had a good amount of training and learning opportunities.

It seems like this program definitely has that. I am currently interested in Business Ops, BA&T, and Value Engineering. I’m sure I will learn a great deal on these areas and others in the near future. I really look forward to the rest of this program and being given the opportunity to utilize my skills and provide value to this great organization for years to come. We love new “blood” I look forward to hearing more from you. I’d also love to know more about you. I’m looking forward to the blogs from Jeanne that introduce more about you all.

You know it should be a fun program. What do you like to do besides SAP? I may be getting ahead of myself. I bet Jeanne asks questions like that for her blog.

To each his own. I was originally going to be an accountant when I started college. I quickly learned it wasn’t for me. I rarely find myself working in the FI/CO area of SAP. Hope to hear a lot more from you!

I’m curious about how the program will be going. If it meets all your expectations, goals, Boy long response to you! Welcome, Michelle. Hey Michelle.

Thank you for the welcome. I’ll tell you what – so far, everything has exceeded my expectations. We have had a lot of great people come in and speak to us. I have learned a great deal already.

I’m really looking forward to the rest of this program and the prospect of working for this great company for years to come. On a personal note, I really enjoy spending time with family and friends. I’m also a big sports fan – Philadelphia sports to be more specific. Where are you located?

I’m assuming if it is not in the greater Philadlephia area, you don’t share my affection! Anyway, I’ll be sure to be in touch and let you know how the program is progressing. Thanks to everyone for posting your intros, and to those of you who reached out with a welcome.

I’d like to see more participants from the SGA sharing. Those of you who already chimed in, encourage your peers. As to the questions about this program It’s not an internship. The “students” are graduates, several with MBAs.

They are SAP new hires who are going through a special 6 month training program that will help them become professionals in multiple areas: Solution Engineering, Value Engineering, Inside Sales, Account Executives, etc. Most of them are social media savvy. We (SAP) are glad to have them on board!

Are you a passionate and driven self-starter with up to three years' experience? Do you want to work with the world’s top brands, solve their biggest challenges, and influence the way they do business? Here’s your chance. At SAP, we never stop pushing the boundaries of what our solutions can do for people and for the world. The award-winning SAP Academy will provide you with a world-class training experience and the skills, confidence, and experience to begin a successful career at SAP. This program is founded on core principles which create a unique and innovative environment that enables you to build a successful foundation to engage with customers, help solve their unique business challenges, and discover new ways to Run Simple!.

You like roles where you are responsible for leading a team. You would prefer to have an individual quota, where how much you earn is based on how much you sell. You would prefer to work through partners and manage a higher number of smaller deals at the same timeI would enjoy the opportunity to contact customers for prospecting purposes.

You would prefer to engage customers through virtual channels and create meaningful relationships (video, social, phone). When spending time with customers, yoy prefer to understand the big picture of their needs, objectives and how SAP can help them. Most new hires at SAP want to hit the ground running – and we can help with that.

Associates in the SAP Academy program will have a robust support structure. We’ll assign everyone a buddy and a mentor to guide you through your first month and beyond.

Your “buddy” will answer all your questions about the SAP Academy program and day-to-day questions – like who’s who, what are the SAP systems and processes, and where you can find the cappuccino machine. Your mentor will be a senior employee in your field. He or she will be your primary point of contact during your field rotation, will share their experience with you and help you increase your knowledge and skills in a safe and supportive environment. A team of SAP trainers, known as the Academy Faculty, with extensive experience in sales, presales, field management, or enablement, will facilitate interactive training workshops for you, assess your skills, and provide you with regular coaching. On top of that, an Academy Director will serve as your functional manager throughout the program, supporting you with regular one-to-one meetings, performance development, and ensuring you have an overall quality experience. Our 350,000 customers come in all sizes and work in every industry and geographical region you can imagine.

They include 87% of the Forbes Global 2000 and 98% of the world’s top 100 most valued brands. Some are big household names, while others are small yet ambitious start-ups that are just beginning to grow. Today more than 800 associates have completed the SAP Academy programs and supporting customers around the globe.

In 2016 alone, Academy Graduates touched more than 15% of SAP's key revenue and are demonstrating broader reach to potential customers through social selling.
