In September 2014 SAP SE announced the opening of the Business Technology Early College High (BTECH) School, an innovative new school in Queens, NY, that enables students to earn a high school diploma, an associate degree in business systems or engineering technology, and gain relevant work experience in the business technology field — all at no cost to the family. Developed in collaboration with SAP, the New York City Department of Education, Queensborough Community College and the Early College Initiative at the City University of New York, BTECH is a response to the increasing demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) talent in the United States. Here are some of the news updates on this innovative initiative:
