SAP Hellas strongly supports business transformation by investing in the next generation of professionals with the goal of accelerating the adoption of new technologies.
In this context, the Young Professionals Program 2026—a fully funded SAP training and job placement program for young people—was successfully completed, enhancing participants’ readiness in Artificial Intelligence and Cloud technologies.
The program was implemented at a pivotal time, as Greece seeks to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and cloud technologies and develop new digital skills for businesses and the workforce.
As noted in the relevant announcement, through this initiative, 24 young professionals were trained in two strategic areas of business transformation: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition and Generative AI application development.
Throughout the program, participants received intensive training in SAP solutions such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Generative AI, SAP Business Data Cloud, and SAP Joule for Consultants, broadening their expertise into other technological areas as well. Beyond technical training, the program also focused on business acumen, strategic thinking, and data-driven decision-making, preparing graduates to contribute to client projects from day one.
After two months of intensive hands-on training, the new SAP Associate Consultants are now ready to join SAP partner and client organizations, helping to meet the Greek market’s growing need for specialized Cloud and AI professionals. This program reaffirms SAP Hellas’ commitment to the long-term development of the Greek market and the broader technology ecosystem.
“Welcome to a world where technology doesn’t just support businesses, but shapes the conditions of modern entrepreneurship,” said Andreas Xirokostas —CEO of SAP Greece, Cyprus, and Malta—adding, “As you go on to lead the businesses of tomorrow, be bold and open to change.”
Since 2013, the SAP Young Professionals Program has supported more than 5,000 young professionals in over 48 countries across the EMEA region, preparing them for the growing demands of today’s technological environment.
