What is it and who is it for?
SAP recognizes and appreciates the enormous contribution American military personnel have made to our nation and our world. Our goal is to assist our U.S. military heroes in making a successful transition back to civilian life. That is why SAP has created the Veterans to Work program. As a part of this program, SAP provides scholarships for certification exam fees in S/4 HANA, analytics and data management.
St. Michael’s Learning Academy (SMLA) is a private, vocational school and is the educational and operational arm of the SAP to Work Program. This unique qualification led SAP and SMLA to form a collaborative private/public partnership to bring the SAP Veterans to Work program to active duty soldiers getting ready to transition from the military to the civilian life.
Our primary population is military (90%) and students referred by the Texas Workforce Commission who are laid off, dislocated or disabled. SMLA provides students with training and certifications in high demand professions including SAP, Project Management, CompTIA, Microsoft, and Lean Six Sigma.
SMLA’s Government line of business began in February 2013, at the onset of their approval from the Army to be one of the first Career skills programs at FT. Hood which is today the DOD SkillBridge program formally known as the Army’s Career Skills Program part of the soldier for life transition program.

What is SAP?
SAP is the most popular member of a family of software known as Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP). At their core, ERPs are complex integrated platforms that combine databases, business processes, business intelligence, user interaction and cross department communications into a concrete centralized system that allows real-time decision making, information gathering and process automation.
SAP helps companies of all sizes and industries run better. From back office to boardroom, warehouse to storefront, desktop to mobile device — SAP empowers people and organizations to work together more efficiently and use business insight more effectively to stay ahead of the competition.
Build a future in any industry by mastering the world’s most trusted ERP system.
