Project Softbot proposes an original company course for high school students following scientific curricula and university students in technical and scientific faculties.
The programme is promoted with SAP, a European multinational that produces management software.
The free course includes four on-line modules and a final hackathon on company automation. The challenge will feature mixed teams of university and high school students.
Project Softbot is a precious opportunity to learn more about company dynamics and the professional challenges involved in planning processes and resources that will be held by SAP experts. SAP is increasingly attentive to its employer branding and seeks to move toward young high school and university students, also as a reciprocally advantageous way of offering jobs and developing company storytelling. For students and new graduates, it’s an important opportunity to exchange content, ideas and experiences.
The students will be guided through the course and to the final challenge by Fabrizio Jimenez, who will use design thinking labs to help the students creatively visualize solutions to complex issues. The first lesson begins tomorrow on new communication experiences between companies and clients with the use of Bots.
