The Company has established two Japan-India Institutes for Manufacturing (JIM), one in Gujarat and the other in Haryana. This is the result of collaboration between the Governments of Japan and India to create a pool of skilled workforce for the Indian manufacturing industry. The first JIM was set up at Mehsana in Gujarat in 2017. JIM Mehsana offers National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) approved technical training in seven trades related to automobile industry. It also conducts a supplementary course on Japanese manufacturing practices and processes covering soft skills such as Kaizen, 5S, and 3G, which is integrated with the NCVT curriculum for all the trades. The soft skill curriculum has been developed by the Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS), Japan under the guidance of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan. Unique features of the JIM include mini vehicle assembly line, engine assembly line, safety lab, virtual welding simulators and spot-welding equipment that provide hands-on training to students to make them industry-ready. Students from the two batches who have graduated from JIM Mehsana have received 100% job placement.
