In the reporting year, the Group-wide “youlearn” initiative, which was launched in 2020, was also continued at T-Systems, with a continued focus on the company-wide “Digitize!” skilling campaign. The company’s management is giving the initiative top strategic priority for the next few years. “Digitize!” comprises several skills development programs that teach employees highly relevant technology skills that they need in order to implement the digital transformation for their customers. The programs include digital training on topics such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, as well as the part-time programs “Digital Engineer”, “Data Scientist”, “Digital Consultant”, and “Digital Expert of Tomorrow”, which are offered in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University. In addition, the “Career Shifter” module supports the complex reskilling of employees in IT – to become a “Cloud Backend Engineer” or “Cloud Architect Hyperscaler”, for example. The programs target beginners, experienced people with solid tech knowledge, and digitalization pioneers. Wherever possible, the courses are offered internationally, include large virtual sections, and consist of a mixture of self-guided learning and in-person training on site. While all of these reskilling and upskilling measures are managed centrally, they are carried out in close cooperation with the relevant business units (departments, teams of experts). A key aim is for T-Systems to increasingly become a self-learning organization. For this reason, the company welcomes and supports self-organized initiatives of the various units in the area of learning and development. More than 2 300 employees were awarded certifications in the reporting year. More than 650 employees have set off on varuious learning journeys. We have carried out around 4 000 skilling measures since the start of “Digitize!”
In addition, the first T-Systems hackathon was held in June 2022, focusing on the “Metaverse”. Some 60 employees from different business units at T-Systems took part in this two-day event and made an important contribution to the development of the T-Systems portfolio. This format strengthened both our innovation mindset and our culture of learning.
To further promote this culture of learning at T-Systems, the reporting year was made the Year of Learning. T-Systems presented the Learning Hero Award for the first time, for example – an award for leaning heroes at the company, who implemented exciting, value-generating learning and teaching initiatives in the reporting year. Among the more than 169 candidates, nine winners were selected in the categories “Individual,” “Multiplier,” and “Teams.” The winners received prizes of between 2 000 and 5 000 euros. The contributions by the “Learning Heroes” were shared both within and outside the company in 2022.
