American carmaker Ford is emerging as local favorite among the domestic consumers. In an attempt to encourage more skilled professionals in the automobile industry, Ford has partnered with Don Bosco Centre of Learning for the cause. As part of this initiative the carmaker has inaugurated its 4th Automotive Student Service Educational Training (ASSET) Centre at St Joseph’s Industrial Training Institute located in Kurla, Mumbai.
Speaking more on the occasion, PK Umashankar, Vice-President, Customer Service Operations, Ford India, said, “After the successful launch in Pune last week, we are delighted to come to Mumbai to provide world class automotive training to students in the state of Maharashtra. We are focused to make Ford ASSET program the primary source of trained pool of technicians for Ford dealers and look to expand to more cities in the coming year. With the launch of the program, we have truly created a real asset that will not only help students with better growth and employment prospects but also the automobile industry with skilled workforce.”
Students will be trained in the premises under the existing Motor Mechanic Vehicle (MMV) curriculum and shall have an opportunity to interact and learn more with master technician/In-house trainers in the facility via training sessions organized by Bhavna Ford, a local Mumbai dealership.
