Maruti Suzuki adopts Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) in partnership with the state governments for their overall upgradation. The key objective of the programme is to improve quality of training and upgrade technical skills of students in order to make them industry ready and enhance their employability.
The company is currently working with 85 ITIs spread across 21 states to upgrade automobile-related trades, including five new ITIs that were added in 2013-14. This initiative benefited over 5,500 students. In the last three years, over 2,800 students from these ITIs got employment in service workshops of the company's dealers. This initiative helps in meeting the manpower requirement of service workshops, while helping students get gainful employment.
