Toyota Motor Company's Toyota Technical Training Institute in India* |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In 2007, the Toyota Motor Company set up the Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI) in India on the lines of its Toyota Technical Skills Academy in Japan. The company felt that the institute would help address some of the needs of the booming automobile industry in India that was in acute need of qualified human resources despite the high number of technical institutes in the country. The company projected the setting up of this institute as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative that was aimed at benefiting a disadvantaged section of Indian society by increasing their employability. |

| Introduction |
In August 2007, one of the world’s leading automobile manufacturers, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), announced that its joint venture in India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited (TKM) had set up a technical training school called Toyota Technical Training Institute (TTTI), on the outskirts of Bangalore, India.
The company said that TTTI was meant for those who had passed out of middle school (Class 10) but could not continue their education due to financial or other constraints. |
