Partnering with SAP
SAP is a global leader in business and customer relation software solutions. The company also invests in education around the world, aware that knowledge is key to young people finding employment.
In 2012, SAP joined the Global Business Coalition for Education as a founding member. Over the years, we have worked closely with its global CSR (corporate social responsibility) team.
So when the company was preparing to launch a North America pilot of a program called Educate to Employ, it turned to us because of our proven track record at both global and local levels.
Katie Booth, SAP’s Head of Corporate Social Responsibility for the Americas, said: “Before I worked with the Global Business Coalition for Education, I was struggling with how to bring a globally designed programme to life in a local market.”
