UDAAN Scheme: Tata Motors Generates Employment Opportunities

The collaborative effort of the automaker and the government has resulted in training and generating employment opportunities for three-year engineering diploma holders and professional degree holders of Jammu & Kashmir, through a collective action-oriented agenda.

Under the marque's programme, freshers from engineering colleges of Jammu & Kashmir are recruited and trained for a period of 6 months at Amity Noida and Tata Motors' Service Training Centers (STC). On completion of their training, the qualified candidates are placed at company's dealerships as Service Managers.

A total number of 230 UDAAN candidates enrolled under this program and out of that, 218 candidates have completed their training and have been assured a job. Among the qualified candidates, 187 have already joined work.

Talking about this program, Mr Sanjeev Garg, VP & Global Head - Customer care-CVBU said, "At Tata Motors, our constant focus is on providing quality technical education that is focused on employment. Through this initiative, we aim to provide job opportunities to over 1300 youth in Jammu and Kashmir, in the next 5 years.

"With an increasing number of vehicles plying on the road, quality repair and maintenance is an important aspect, and schemes like these help us equip a pool of skilled candidates, in turn helping strengthen our service. We will continue to invest in such training programs, for aspiring youth who wish to work with corporates."

Deepak Verma, the Batch-II trainee, now placed as a Customer Support Manager said, "The training sessions were insightful and helped me build my technical skills. In Jammu and Kashmir, the availability of industrial courses is limited; and opportunities, scarce. Owing to Tata Motors' initiative on skill building, we have been empowered to explore our capabilities, at par with the Nation's best."
