Volkswagen India has started the fourth batch of mechatronics apprenticeship programme at its academy at the Pune plant.
The new batch of 16 apprentices, 25 per cent of whom are girls, will undergo the three-and-half-year programme which is based on the German dual system of vocational education and training.
It exposes the students to both theoretical and practical knowledge and also imparts interpersonal skills.
VW initiated the apprenticeship programme at Pune in 2011, admitting 16 students to this course every year.
Those getting admission to this course need to have scored at least 70 per cent or above in Science and Mathematics in their 10th standard and need to clear a written test and a personal interview conducted by the training faculty of the Volkswagen Academy. No fee is charged to the apprentices who are also paid a monthly stipend.
On successful completion of the course, the apprentices are eligible to take up jobs at the VW plant in various departments.
