LUXURY automaker Mercedes-Benz India has signed a memorandum of understanding with Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University (DESU) to provide a one-year Advanced Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics (ADAM) course.

The programme is an initiative by Mercedes-Benz India conducted with the help of educational institutions to fulfil the requirements for superlative service in the automotive sector, the company said in a statement.

“With this association (with DSEU), we are extending our commitment to support the government’s skill development initiative and will provide an appropriate platform to aspiring students to prepare for a bright career in the automotive industry,” Mercedes-Benz India vice president, customer services, Shekhar Bhide said.

DSEU vice-chancellor Neharika Vohra said the university’s faculty, as well as its students, will greatly benefit from the advanced course and get insights from the field with a new perspective.

“Many students have a childhood dream to work in distinguished automobile firms. Through this partnership, the university desires to provide a platform for students to achieve their dreams while also assisting them in getting their dream jobs,” she said.

The training will include factory visits to the Pune plant of Mercedes-Benz India, which will provide hands-on experience to students and encourage them to connect with industry professionals, Vohra said.

According to Mercedes-Benz India, it had started the mechatronics training school in 2006 with the aim of providing trained service personnel and engineers to the industry. The company and its dealership network came together to start the programme and train students to address the requirements of Mercedes-Benz technology and innovation. Only 20 students qualify to take the course in a batch. Since its inception, 660 students have successfully completed the programme and have been placed not only within the Mercedes-Benz network but also in the automobile industry, the company revealed.
