FADA Academy Adds Another Centre

Fourth Training Centre started at Delhi

FADA Academy in association with JobGuru India - a division of Idea 7 Automotive has started a 14-day training programme at Delhi to train Sales Consultants, thanks to the initiative taken by R K Sarna, MD, Ambe Bajaj. The programme is being conducted at the premises of Ambe Bajaj at Khanpur. The programme was formally inaugurated on 9th Feb'09. The first batch comprises of 14 candidates.

This initiative of FADA is to cater to the manpower needs of automobile dealerships that are facing an acute shortage of trained manpower all over the country. In view of the increasing attrition levels in auto retail and service industry due to the rapid growth of economy and auto industry and better growth opportunities offered by allied businesses such as finance, insurance and retail sectors in particular, FADA Academy recruits candidates for their attitude and train them and hone their skills for placement in automobile dealerships. The idea of recruiting not-so-over ambitious candidates is that automobile dealerships will be able to retain them for longer period of time unlike candidates with talent, who switch jobs frequently.

FADA Academy is making endeavours to set up more learning centres at majors cities.
