Honda Skill Enhancement Centre Inaugurated in Kota

Honda 2-Wheelers India has inaugurated a new Skill Enhancement Centre in Kota, Rajasthan. Being Honda's second such centre in Rajasthan, it is opened in collaboration with Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI), Kota. The brand intends to empower local youth with job-oriented technical skill training in the city while this centre boasts of state-of-the-art training facilities alongside practical training on two-wheelers maintenance & repair. With this, the number of Honda Skill Enhancement Centres in India goes to 45 across 19 states.

On this initiative, Mr Pradeep Pandey, Senior Vice President - Customer Service, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Fulfilling our commitment to up-skill local youth and enhance their employability, we are proactively supporting the Skill India Mission to empower Indian youth. The BS-VI emission norms have raised the demand of skilled technical manpower in the automobile sector. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students could not get hands on practical training. HMSI’s second Skill Enhancement Centre in Rajasthan at Kota will provide improved facility to recoup for the practical training while ensuring all safety protocols. Further, we will continue to inaugurate more centres in other parts of the country.”
