SAP® Young Thinkers Program
March 25, 2016
More than 36 Kent County area high school students learned about the
latest business technologies during the SAP® Young Thinkers
Program hosted by SAP University Alliance and the Seidman College of
Business. The event was held March 25 at the GVSU Seidman College of Business.
Students from East Kentwood High School, West Michigan Academy of
Environmental Science, and Kenowa Hills High School spent the day
participating in hands-on exercises that tested their analytical and
creative thinking skills, while learning about careers in business and
technology. The program aims to help youths understand Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) systems and its impact on businesses and
everyday life. ERP refers to the automation and integration of a
company’s core business to help focus on effectiveness and simplified success.
The program is sponsored by Steelcase Inc., SAP University
Alliances and the Enterprise Systems Student Union (ESSU).
