The GT T-TEP training syllabus imparts training on basic automotive fundamentals, Toyota Way of Service and technologies in Toyota Cars help the students to get jobs in the Automotive General Repair industry.
The BP T-TEP training syllabus imparts training on basic body and paint repair skills in addition to dealer specific requirements to students, thereby improving their knowledge of repair techniques and facilitating the adoption of latest technology in Body & Paint.
Currently Body & Paint technicians have limited information and hands on experience in the usage of correct repair operations and techniques, forcing dealers to recruit manpower from local garages. Toyota along with its supplier partners, PPG Asian Paints and 3M, will provide all necessary support to the institute i.e. training consumables, visiting faculty, training material, tools, equipments etc. Introduced in the year 2009, Automotive Body & Paint repair training has been provided to more than 500 students till now.
Commenting on the occasion Mahesh Salkar said, "We introduced TTEP in India in 2006 and since then we have been successful in imparting technical training to ITI/Polytechnic students. This tie-up will cater to the requirement of skilled manpower in the Indian Automobile industry. The partnership with Government ITI, Paramakudi is one such step.
"Our mission is to carve a career path for talented students in the rural market, and to provide job opportunities within the similar line of work in the automobile industry. The special course of General Technician and Body & Paint Technician is designed keeping in mind the advanced technology required for the Automobile Market. We thrive to give best to the students who will eventually contribute to the growing Automobile Market and Service Industry."
The GT and BP T-TEP, a 1 year syllabus, introduces students to Toyota's advanced technology and service techniques. It also includes, on-the-job training, at Toyota's dealerships. As a part of this program, TKM will also train institute instructors in the latest technology, used at Toyota and the automobile industry.
TKM plans to introduce this program to technical institutes across the country in the coming years and reach out to over 1000 students per year. The project is jointly funded by Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota Kirloskar Motor. Together they provide T-TEP institutes with hi-tech training packages and Toyota service training manuals and materials. PPG Asian Paints India Pvt. Ltd and 3M India Ltd has also extended their support by providing latest equipments and material required for training.
