Honda 2-Wheelers India has inaugurated its first Skill Enhancement Centre in Rajasthan in collaboration with Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI), Jodhpur. With this new facility, the company now has 44 such centres across 19 states. It is equipped with state of the art training facilities with an aim to provide practical training on two-wheelers maintenance & repair. Honda Skill Enhancement Centre is believed to empower the local youth with job-oriented technical skill training in Jodhpur. The brand recently launched the Grazia Respol Edition in India.
The Skill Enhancement Centre has a fully functional workshop with two-wheelers and service infrastructure to give practical training to students on technical aspects of two-wheelers maintenance and repair. On completion of the one-year training program, Honda will also support with recruitment opportunities to successful candidates at its dealerships. The inauguration was held in the august presence of Shri Hitesh Kumar Garg, (Deputy Director, Department of Skill Employment & Entrepreneurship, Government ITI, Jodhpur), Mr. Shiv Ratan Mandhana (Chairman, Institute Management Committee, Government ITI, Jodhpur) Mr. Indra Ram Genwa (Principal, Government ITI, Jodhpur), Mr. Sudhir Vyas (Vice-Principal, Government ITI, Jodhpur) & Mr. Rajnish Mittal (Deputy General Manager, Customer Service Technology & Customer Relations, HMSI).
On this initiative, Mr Pradeep Pandey, Senior Vice President - Customer Service, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Fulfilling our commitment to up-skill local youth and enhance their employability, we are proactively supporting the Skill India Mission to empower Indian youth. The BS-VI emission norms have raised the demand of skilled technical manpower in the automobile sector. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students could not get hands on practical training. HMSI’s first Skill Enhancement Centre in Rajasthan at Jodhpur will provide improved facility to recoup for the practical training while ensuring all safety protocols. Further, we will continue to inaugurate more centres in other parts of the country.”
