The STAR Program offers a wide range of possibilities to continuously broaden your knowledge and skills, and to pave the way for a thriving career. After completing your studies, you could consider employment in almost any area of the company — many of our graduates find their ideal roles in software development, AI-related services, product support, DevOps, or customer-facing consulting and pre-sales.
Important information about the structure of the program
At the beginning of the program, you will receive an intensive 3-week onboarding, including technical training in cloud technologies and software development methodology. In each following semester, 2–4 days of technical or soft skills training will be provided to enhance your knowledge.
Please note: During the full month of January, on-site presence in our Budapest office is mandatory to complete the onboarding successfully.
Your schedule: In your first semester, you will work a minimum of 16 hours per week; from the following semesters, a minimum of 20 hours per week is required.
How can you benefit from the program?
Each semester, you'll rotate through different projects — gaining hands-on experience across software development, DevOps, cloud, and AI technologies, including agentic AI, Joule, and the SAP Business AI Platform.
You'll work with technologies that are actively shaping enterprise AI globally — from Joule Studio (SAP's build environment for custom AI agents) to SAP Business Data Cloud and AI-powered ERP workflows.
In July 2027, your work schedule will be full-time. In return, you'll have almost a month off in August 2027 (or pro-rated according to your actual schedule).
You may also complete your required mandatory practice or thesis work under the umbrella of the STAR Program.
