LONDON, March 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
TechPro2, the youth training initiative promoted
globally by CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), sees its latest
installment launch in Johannesburg, South
Africa. This particular chapter of the program is dedicated
to engines and as such will provide instruction both in the
classroom and in a technical workshop. An event inaugurating the
program was held on March 16 at the
Don Bosco Educational Center in Ennerdale, Johannesburg, where the course will take
place.
The program is spearheaded by CNH Industrial's powertrain brand
FPT Industrial, which will provide training materials and engines
for Power Generation and on-road applications. In addition to
providing machinery for practical learning, FPT Industrial has
developed educational web based training to deliver basic knowledge
on the aforementioned engines. The technical portion of training
will be provided by CNH Industrial's local Technical
Department.
The one-year course itself is led by a local teacher. Upon
successful completion, students will receive a special diploma
recognized by the South African government. At the end of the
course, internship placements at local FPT Industrial dealers will
be arranged to give students the opportunity to gain real
on-the-job experience, assisting them in preparing for the labor
market.
FPT Industrial is also actively involved in instructing new
trainers in South Africa through digital courses, which
will have a specific portion dedicated to the TechPro2
program. These digital exercises are available to trainers via
a web platform provided directly by FPT Industrial.
TechPro2 is a joint-initiative promoted by both CNH
Industrial and its sister Company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in
collaboration with the National Centre for Salesian Works (CNOS
FAP). CNOS FAP's mission is to promote formation and professional
development according to its founder Don
Bosco's teaching principles. Its aim is to provide young
people from over 50 countries around the world – such as
Argentina, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Italy
and Poland – with the knowledge
and commercial skills that are needed to prepare them for future
employment in the automotive and industrial machinery sectors.
The initiative has grown to be more than a development program
to train highly specialized individuals; today it has a global
scope which actively involves and fosters a direct dialogue with
young people, many of whom come from socially underprivileged
backgrounds, to offer them a secure professional future.
Furthermore, TechPro2 represents an innovative
relationship model between schools and the professional sector.
