The George Telegraph Training Institute (GTTI), the largest technical vocational education institute in eastern india with 42 centres, has joined hands with Mukesh Hyundai, the largest dealer for Hyundai in east India, to provide its students with the best possible on-job training in the automobile industry and make them more employable.
Mukesh Hyundai and GTTI have set up the George Telegraph Institute of Automobile Engineering, at Mukesh Hyundai’s factory in West Bengal. The institute is spread over 10,000 sq ft and can accommodate 400 students per semester. The institute would run two semesters per year.
“This is a two-year diploma programme and it works out to Rs 58,000 per semester. We intend to absorb the students at our factory. The advantage is that we will not have to make any investments in training them,” said Nitin Himatsingka, director, Mukesh Hyundai.
“We have always faced the problem of getting trained manpower who can start work from the day they would join. So we used our own infrastructure and set up this institute in collaboration with George Telegraph, because this has the largest chain of technical institutes in Eastern India,” Himatsingka added.
"There are around 20 dealer showrooms in Kolkata alone, employing around 5,000 people. At the factories, the demand is even more," pointed out Himatsingka.
The institute offers close to 52 courses.
