Over the last decade, several long, medium
and short term cooperations have arisen which enrichened our programme
lastingly and made it what it is today. Above all, of course: the cooperations
with SAP University Alliances without which erp4students would not exist in
this form. Likewise worth mentioning is our long-standing partner Univativ. The
Darmstadt-based company successfully serves as a link between young potentials
and companies, between vocational training and practice, and carried out many
talks, webinars and other actions with us – and will continue to do so in the
future.
The short term collaborations also have been a
complete success up to now. For instance, the webinar we held together with the
colleagues of Accenture in which almost 50 people took part. Furthermore, the
interviews with team members of Detecon, Phoron Consulting, Orianda Solutions,
Syskoplan Replay and Intense always belong to our website´s most-read editorial
content.
An aspect that still is essential to us is the topic
“Women in IT”. Therefore it was especially pleasant that Ms. Prof. Dr.
Felizitas Sagebiel from the University of Wuppertal could be won over for a
guest commentary. She researches since 2000 in the area “Gender and
Engineering” and gave in the context of our article “Women and the Fear of IT”
her opinion on development programmes that aim to allow women better access to
the “male preserve ITK sector”.
The good thing about all these collaborations is not
only that one could become acquainted with interesting new people and projects
but also that they were always based on mutual respect – that is why they were
especially prolific. We aim for a long-lasting persistence of these
cooperations and wish all the best and good luck to all the projects,
programmes, companies, institutions, and of course all people involved, who
have worked with us in the last 10 years!
This is what current and former partners say about
erp4students:
“If you want to get technically involved, it is
recommendable to acquire a certification – e.g., from erp4students. That can
make their start into working life easier.” (Dr. Yilmaz Alan, Detecon
International GmbH)
“I clearly recommend the participation in the
erp4students programme and the corresponding certification. It possibly
provides the decisive advantage in the process of application. Moreover, like
this students can already get a taste of their later work and SAP becomes more
than an abstract term.” (Gregor Nebgen, Orianda Solutions AG)
"At INTENSE we see that candidates with prior
knowledge regarding SAP move forward a lot faster and they are more successful
in the company than colleagues who had only little or no contact with SAP.
Since the courses of erp4students are very practice-oriented, their reputation
in companies is from my point of view very good. From a company´s perspective,
it is also an advantage if candidates already have completed further
educational training before." (Dominik Panzer, Intense AG)
"With a price of 550 Euros*, the courses at
erp4students are reasonable, since certified SAP courses often cost several
thousand Euros. There are no video tutorials, but scripts that deal
alternatingly with theoretical and practical parts. A big plus is mainly that a
tutor is available for the participants during the entire course duration. The
tutor helps via e-mail with individual, course related issues – also on
weekends and during the holidays." (Univativ Webjournal)
* The fee refers to the course "Integrated
Business Processes with SAP ERP (TERP10)" for students enrolled at a
German university and includes the corresponding SAP certification exam. Fees
for students enrolled at other countries may differ. All fees can be seen on
