Key Takeaways

⇨ SAP TechEd in 2024 showcased advancements in learning, including the launch of three new role-based certifications and 60 self-paced learning journeys aimed at enhancing skills for solution consultants, architects and low-code/no-code developers.

⇨ SAP has successfully achieved its goal of upskilling 2 million people with digital skills by 2025 ahead of schedule, contributing to closing the digital skills gap.

⇨ Although SAP TechEd has concluded, participants can continue their learning journey through the SAP Community, the SAP TechEd Virtual Learning zone and upcoming regional events, ensuring ongoing access to experiences and expert insights.

The SAP TechEd interactive event – one of the conferences SAP organizes during the year – has just come to an end, with participants exploring new tech, learning from industry leaders and discovering best practices from SAP experts. As usual, the event was accompanied by big announcements and opportunities for everyone to learn new skills and bring out their best.

Learning news highlights from this year’s SAP TechEd included the launch of three new role-based certifications, 60 new, self-paced and free learning journeys, additional trial experiences and hands-on solution demonstrations for developers and tech professionals. The new certifications validate skills for solution transformation consultants, solution architects and professional low-code, no-code developers, and help ensure experts have the skills they need to achieve agile business transformation to make their skill sets adaptable in today’s job market. 

For example, one new learning journey uses practical use cases to help consultants and administrators deepen their understanding of LeanIX features, a critical element of enterprise architecture.

This wave of new offerings concludes SAP’s pledge to upskill 2 million people with digital skills by 2025, which the company announced it has achieved ahead of schedule. Through its learning opportunities, the company has lowered the world’s digital skills gap through role-based certifications, free training materials and hands-on opportunities for developers.

Continuous learning experience

Despite that SAP TechEd Virtual is over, professionals can continue to learn and network regarding all things SAP solutions and SAP TechEd topics by becoming part of the 

SAP Community where more than 3.2 million active users per month exchange ideas.  There’s also a dedicated SAP TechEd group to share experiences with peers. 

They can also continue their upskilling via the SAP TechEd Virtual Learning zone, benefiting from learning tools and opportunities mapped to SAP TechEd tracks like AI and data and analytics. Starting with 40 interactive value journeys and showcases to discover the value of SAP solutions, the learning zone also contains 45 curated learning journeys plus access to demos, basic trials and use cases to experience SAP solutions hands-on.

Users can still take part in the initiative for coding and collaboration, SAP’s Devtoberfest, until October 25, featuring new and evolving developer tools with the opportunity to win the grand prize of the contest.

In addition, they can continue their learning experience at an official SAP TechEd on Tour or SAPinsider stop in their region. The stops in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Denmark or Germany in the next months offer hands-on learning opportunities, deep-dive lecture sessions and meet-the-experts presented by SAP experts, partners and customers. SAP is also bringing back the Developer Garage for learners as a great opportunity to learn by doing.

With the opportunity to dip into evolving knowledge with these initiatives, inquisitive users are guaranteed to find some new insights.
