Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz India has inaugurated the unique ‘Advanced Auto Body Repair Training Centre’ in association with Don Bosco ITI, Chinchwad. The Training Centre is aimed at equipping ambitious youngsters with advanced technical skill-sets enabling them to pursue a successful career in the highly competitive automotive service sector. The inauguration of the Advanced Auto Body Repair Centre will also give a significant boost to the demand of highly skilled and technically adept manpower, which can play a crucial role in bringing service excellence to the service sector of the automotive industry. The centre was jointly inaugurated by Roland Folger, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz India and Fr. Godfrey D’souza, Salesian Provincial, Mumbai - in the presence of Santosh Iyer, Vice President, After-Sales & Retail Training, Mercedes-Benz India and Fr. Corils Gonsalves, Director Don Bosco Private ITI in Chinchwad.
The selected candidates will get an opportunity to hone their technical skill sets with the help of the latest equipment including a Mercedes-Benz car provided by the company. This one-of-its-kind course identifies itself with the vision of “Skill India” which aims at utilizing the youth demographics and create skilled workers at this Training Centre. Mercedes-Benz India has spent a total of Rs 26.5 million on the project.
Inaugurating the Training Centre, Roland Folger, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, “India is rich in its manpower, but opportunities and facilities that train and gainfully employ them are by far, few. On the other hand, growth in the automotive industry, changing technology, a burgeoning economy, a larger disposable income and lowering first hand life-cycle of cars have triggered huge demand for skilled technicians and that of upskilling in the sector. Mercedes-Benz has been the pioneers in providing employment to talented young heads over a decade now, by introducing them to the Advanced Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics course by collaborating with various reputed technical institutions. We have been conducting these programmes with very high levels of success, and the overwhelming response from the aspiring students has inspired us to expand our skill sharing initiatives further. The inauguration of the Advanced Body Repair Training Centre in Don Bosco is yet another commitment from Mercedes-Benz to develop highly skilled manpower for the industry, thus contributing to the vision of ‘Skill India’.”
