TÜV SÜD Academy fosters Vocational Training for Young Indians


Pampady, Kerala, India, Thursday, October 20, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- TÜV SÜD Academy supports the Mar Invanios Industrial Training Centre in Kerala, India, with a donation of almost 3,000 euros, thus enabling industrial training to be provided for young Indians who normally cannot afford this type of training. Krishnakumar Gangadhara Menon, General Manager of TÜV SÜD South Asia, visited the training centre to find further starting-points for support.

Good professional training is a precondition for a secure professional future, and India is no exception. However, in India industrial training is not free and is thus often unattainable for socially disadvantaged young people. Through its donation, TÜV SÜD Academy has now made it possible for 21 destitute young people to attend the industrial training centre in Kerala. The industrial training in electrical mechanics, electrical engineering, design and installation at the centre takes two years and offers the trainees a promising perspective for their future career.

Kerala-Hilfe e.V., a registered charity located in Germany, has supported the training centre for many years, paying tuition fees and other training-related costs to give poor children access to education. Cooperating closely, TÜV SÜD Academy supports the activities of both the charity and the training centre. In the future, TÜV SÜD Academy plans to support the training centre with know-how in addition to financial donations. On Menon's visit to the Training Centre, the students were introduced to TÜV SÜD and TÜV SÜD Academy and their activities in India. As Krishnakumar Gangadhara Menon learnt in his conversations with the boys and girls, they are confident and happy about the opportunities this project offers them.

Since opening its own locations in India in 2008, TÜV SÜD Academy has offered numerous training courses in engineering and management throughout the sub-continent.
