Adayana Automotive Launches Asia's First Online Training University Focused on India's Automotive Industry
Asia’s first online training focuses on India’s automotive industry. The new online training will help to create a skilled workforce and meet the demand of industry turnover.
Minneapolis (PRWEB) March 8, 2007 -- Adayana Automotive, a unit of Adayana Inc., launches Asia's first automotive industry focused online training university through a Leadership Roundtable co-sponsored by SIAM (Society of India Automobile Manufacturers) in New Delhi, on Friday, February 23. The new university will help to launch the workforce development initiative for India's automotive industry.
Adayana Automotive (www.adayanaauto.com) will support SIAM in setting up Asia's first "online training" specifically focused on the automotive industry. India's automotive industry turnover is expected to reach $167 billion by 2016 -- four times the current turnover. Given this exponential growth, it is estimated that 2.5 million automotive related jobs will be created over the next ten years. The demand for a skilled workforce will be met in part by this online training and other blended learning offerings.
At the Automotive Industry Workforce Development -- Learning from Best Practices Event participants included business and talent management leaders from within the automotive industry along with the US-based organizations of ASE and AAIA. Several of the participating companies, such as Tata Motors, Mahindra and Mahindra, Maruti Udyog, Bajaj Auto, Eicher, Daimler Chrysler, BMW, etc. have an immediate need for trained people in their manufacturing and service and support facilities.
Mr. Sandilya, the Treasurer of SIAM and the Group Chairman of the Eicher Group said, "We have to develop an industry-led initiative that [would do two specific things: first, to create a curriculum for training [at a low cost [and then to implement this on an industry wide scale -- on a generic basis [that will still provide for customization by individual companies; and then to create an industry recognized certification system that could be operated independently."
Dr Rajiv Tandon, CEO of Adayana, Inc. said, "It is heartening to see that automotive industry leaders, who recognize the issue of workforce development as crucial to the success of the industry, are willing to come together as a group and apply leading edge global best practices that provide the scalability to meet this immense challenge to develop this online training."
