Simon
Apprentice in Application Development
“As an apprentice, I highly value the trust placed in me. We’re assigned our own small projects that go through the same process as normal projects. This prepares us optimally for daily operations and familiarizes us with the workflow. Additionally, we rotate through all internal teams during the apprenticeship. This experience makes it easier for us to decide which area we want to work in later on.”

Miriam
Apprentice in Application Development
“In my apprenticeship, I received a solid foundation in the SAP environment from the start through various trainings. This knowledge could be applied and expanded later in internal or customer projects. The SWAN Academy concept not only provided a clear foundation for technical education but also fostered soft skills and provided further opportunities for personal development.”
