This weblog begins in a Cab on the way to the Sydney airport following the three day SAP Australia User Group (SAUG) Summit  at Darling Harbour last August. Earlier that afternoon, I shared the stage with fellow Mentor Paul Hawking for the Blogging keynote where we spoke about industry trends and the shortage of trained consultants in Australia.

 

As we chatted in the Cab, Paul told me how much potential SAP talent comes though the Victoria University each semester. He told me how so many students whom he Lectures at the University look forward to the SAP electives. In particular we spoke at length about the practical skills picked up by the students who complete the 21 units contained in theSAP EDUCATION HOT TOPIC: Are You Looking to Become SAP Certified and Not Sure Which Exam to Take?  T.... By the time the Cab pulled in at the airport, I had agreed to run a NetWeaver Administration course for the Masters students at the Victoria University in 2011.  

 

Fast forward to last Wednesday, when I conducted the first of 10 lessons to a classroom of around 30. During the 15 minutes of introductions at the beginning of the lesson, I was pleasantly surprised with the variety and depth of IT skills in the room. Over the next 3 months, I will share my knowledge and industry experience to help prepare the students for a rewarding career using SAP Technology. The outline of course BCO6181 - Introduction to SAP NetWeaver Administration is as follows:-

 

  • SAP History (Company and Products)
  • SAP Sources of information (SCN, Service Marketplace, RKT, EGI, Help.SAP.com)
  • SAP Social Identity and the Ecosystem (LinkedIn, Twitter, SAUG, ASUG, SCN)
  • SAP NetWeaver 7.02 Trial Version (download and install on VM Player instance)
  • SAP NetWeaver Administration exercises (daily, weekly and monthly Basis Administration)

Please look out for the upcoming SDN Weblogs I will ask the students to submit over the coming weeks. Some encouraging words are sure to cause a ripple, and several ripples may form a wave. During the last lesson of the semester in June, I will invite several industry contacts to meet the students. Please contact me if you are interested in meeting up with some future SCN thought leaders in the making, or if you would like more information about SAP Program at the Victoria University.

 

To borrow and improve a pearl of wisdom from George Bernard Shaw:

"Those who can, do. Those who really can, teach. Those who can teach, will inspire the next generation to think."
