BANGALORE: AkzoNobel in a gala ceremony held recently at its factory premises in Bangalore, celebrated the completion of training and certification for 500 painters in vehicle refinish and decorative paints, through its paint academy. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the company India. While around 220 of them were trained in decorative paints at AkzoNobel Academy, more than 280 youths were trained in vehicle refinish by training partner Sambhav Foundation, an initiative of LabourNet. Training in such specialised areas has improved their growth prospects in the automobile industry. More than 70% of the trained painters are already placed in the body shops of leading agencies that sell and service cars from brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, Chevrolet and Ford.

The event was graced by Jayakumar Krishnaswamy, Managing Director, AkzoNobel India, who was the Chief Guest, and Noah Leo, body shop manager, Sireesh Auto along with several dignitaries from AkzoNobel, Sambhav and LabourNet. While Leo appreciated the strength of quality manpower produced by this training, Krishnaswamy reiterated the importance of sector-specific skill development and Sambhav’s strong hand in providing quality training.

According to Jayakumar, “AkzoNobel is proud to support ‘Skill India’ through vocational skill training in painting. There is a huge requirement for trained painters in the market today. With right learning and practical expertise the youth have a bright future in this profession.” All the trainees were greatly motivated by the event and were upbeat about their career prospects in the industry.
