AUTOMOBILE TRAINING CENTRES EXPOSED TO NEW TECHNOLOGY AT TATA MOTORS

Amarr G Prabhu

KURLA, JUNE 22, 2012: A 'Train the Trainer Program' was organized at the TATA Motors, Central Service Training Centre at Pune; from June 04-06, 2012, for Automobile Instructors of all the Don Bosco Technical Institutions across the country. This was a first of its kind program, conducted by TATA Motors for Don Bosco or any other Private organization.

 

The entire program was co-ordinated by Don Bosco Centre for Learning, Kurla.  The program was meticulously planned, with state-of-the-art facilities, which made the total experience an excellent one. Topics covered the latest technology used in automobiles of Indian and Foreign origin and how to teach it to students. The activities were grouped around classroom sessions, demonstrations, live practicals and plant visit. The trainer's in depth knowledge and skills in content delivery were not only impressive but created a desire in the participants to train in a similar manner at their own institutions. The host of reference material, e-books, websites, working teaching models and handouts made available will result hopefully in better teaching.

 

The twenty participating instructors hailing from the North East, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and West Bengal, got actively involved in the practical and demonstration sessions. The program was also a vivid eye opener on how training should be imparted – become a source of knowledge for your students. This is the best theory that one can boast of and TATA motors through this program actually did it for us.

 

An Action Plan as to how to integrate these topics into the ITI syllabus will be drawn up by DBCL, Kurla and DBTEC will study how this will be implemented by all Don Bosco Technical Schools.

 

This truly was an Industry – Institute partnership.
