Toyota and NSDC will train 18,000 students in automotive jobs over the next three years
The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has partnered with Toyota Kirloskar Motor and the Automotive Skill Development Council (ASDC) to train 18,000 students in automobiles employment vocations over the course of three years. These students will get training for five different career categories, including contact centre employees, general technicians, body and paint technicians, service advisors, and sales consultants.
Focus will be placed on preparing students for the workforce through the Toyota Technical Education Programme (T-TEP). According to NSDC, T-TEP is tightly connected with the Skill India objective and has so far been associated with 56 ITI and polytechnic institutions encompassing 21 states. Its goal is to produce brilliant and technically proficient workers for the car industry. Currently, more than 10,000 students have received training, and 70% of them are employed by various automakers, according to the statement.
As part of this project, ASDC will choose the institute in accordance with the needs, and Toyota will assist the institute by providing the most recent curriculum encompassing auto basics, safety, values, and core soft skills. The business will also teach the institute’s staff and supply e-learning materials, engines, transmissions, and practise kits. ASDC might assist with infrastructure development and student training.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, union minister of state for the ministries of Skill Development as well as Entrepreneurship and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, said on this occasion” The Toyota Kirloskar Motor initiative, in joint efforts with NSDC and ASDC, to exhibit skill development branches around the country with a specific focus on rural regions will have a major influence on making the students highly competent, employable, and future-ready,” the company stated. Through this initiative, the Skill India Mission of the Indian government is supported. By providing Toyota with access to a platform that will support their efforts to bridge the skills gap and contribute to the establishment of a workforce that meets worldwide standards, the government is committed to inspiring, helping, and collaborating with corporate partners like Toyota.
The automotive sector, which supports a sizeable portion of the Indian economy, has tremendous room to develop in the industrial sector over the next five to six years. There would be tremendous potential for skill development if India becomes the primary pole for the country’s automobile industry, the minister continued.
According to Ved Mani Tiwari, COO and Acting CEO of NSDC, “the automotive business is developing enormously, and since 2006 T-TEP has positioned itself as a benchmark in delivering automotive training and offering immense advantages to the automotive service industry and wider society.” By collaborating with TKM and ASDC, NSDC will be capable of creating a highly technical workforce with improved career options in the automotive service industry and provide young people the opportunity to find employment and earn a decent life. This cooperation would motivate other participants in the auto sector to take initiative to make India the “Skill Capital” of the globe.
