    Andreas Bischof
    Head of VET, Bühler Group

    “Every dollar invested in these promising talents is money well spent and a win-win for workers and companies. The Swiss apprenticeship model makes economic sense because it not only gives graduates a chance to start their careers fully prepared, but the company also benefits from a highly skilled workforce.”

    Kamesh Sundaram
    Head - People Development at Texmo Industries

    “When our students graduate from SkillSonics training programs they are ready for the shop floor and are immediately deployable as a productive workforce”

    Kirit Patel
    Assistant Manager, Swiss VET and Welding, GMM Pfaudler

    “Students are able to perform a quality check on their own – they are trained to identify and correct the mistakes when the required quality standard is not met. The Swiss methodology prevents them from making the same errors again.”

International Automobile Centre of Excellence (iACE)

The vision of the International Automobile Centre of Excellence (iACE) (https://www.iacegujarat.com) is to be the apex centre for skill development for the automotive sector in Gujarat, utilizing modern technology and systems. The iACE was incorporated by the Government of Gujarat in collaboration with Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), with a 50% equity stake each. The centre is a world class institute catering to ‘end to end’ training and development needs of the automobile ecosystem in India. The centre hosts the latest ‘state-of-the-art’ infrastructure and technical labs to provide hands on learning experience. The institute draws upon the expertise of industry-academia collaborations with leading Indian and foreign partners for knowledge and technological relevance of industrial learning.

Executive Summary

iACE was looking for a technology partner to help in designing and developing the courseware for a high quality industrial painting program since painting is an important aspect of any automotive industry and iACE did not have such a course in its program portfolio.
