FADA
Academy's Pilot Project Picks Up Steam A robust growth of automobile industry over the last few years has brought about a buoyant sentiment. However, managing and sustaining the growth presents a new challenge. A fallout of the phenomenal growth is the shortage of trained manpower suiting the needs of automobile dealerships in the context of present and emerging scenario. To address this ubiquitous problem, FADA has taken a major initiative to start certificate/diploma courses, in association with reputed institutions, to cater to the requirements of Sales Executives, Spare Parts Supervisors and Service Supervisors in automobile dealerships and their workshops. The programme initiated under the aegis of FADA Academy - a training wing of FADA, will initially be launched at Mumbai and Pune as a pilot and extended to other parts of the country in a phased manner. This major initiative of FADA is shaping up well. The groundwork for engagement of consultant, affiliation of institutions, preparation of curricula, training faculty and tying up with automobile dealerships for imparting practical training to the candidates to be enrolled for the course and providing employment on their successfully completing the course, is progressing at a fast pace. Recently, Kalyan Malshe, earlier associated with Bajaj Auto Ltd as General Manager (Marketing), who is currently engaged in consultancy through his consulting firm by the name "Balaji Management Consultants" was appointed as Consultant to steer the project for and on behalf of FADA. The agreement signing ceremony was held on 10th September 2005 at Pune. The agreement was signed by Jayendra Kachalia - Past President on behalf of Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations and Kalyan Malshe on behalf of Baiaji Management Consultants, in the presence of Vinay Nevatia, Past President and Yogesh Shah, Council Member, FADA. According to the time-table drawn up, the first batch of courses will start in February 2006. |
