To
ensure that only the highest level of automotive professionals
work on Toyota vehicles, Toyota has partnered with industrial
and technical training institutes all across India to create
the Toyota Technical Education Program (T-TEP). Over 1000
students from these institutes have benefited from this Program
so far, with over 400 students undergoing training on the
latest automotive technology and service techniques every
year. The curriculum of this Program includes on-the-job training
at Toyota dealerships.
With the help of T-TEP, training institutes will be able to
develop a highly skilled technical workforce, with greater
career prospects in the automotive service industry. The skill
levels of manpower currently available remain quite low, and
professionals are not trained for the repair and diagnostics
of the latest models of vehicles available in the market.
T-TEP aims to correct this imbalance by partnering with local
training institutes and industry bodies. These highly qualified
students then have the option to join the Toyota Dealers,
where they get the opportunity to consistently provide “ Q
Service” to our customers.
T-TEP was introduced in 2006, at Delhi. This was quickly followed
by the addition of three other institutes, and over the past
four years, the Program has led to 17 different institutions
coming under its wing. 2009 saw the widening of this program
to include Automotive Body and Paint Repair. This first of
its kind curriculum in India in partnership with State Government
provides the students with unique skills in automotive accident
repair.
T-TEP program is fast becoming a benchmark in imparting vocation
technical training and looking at the immense benefits to
the automotive service industry and the society at large,
Toyota plans to expand this program further with addition
of 6 more institutes in the year 2010.
