VET on the move: The Future of Mobility in India
On 15 April 2021, four German training providers presented their training offers on "The Future of Mobility in India". Almost 50 participants took part in the event which was the fourth part of the iMOVE series "VET on the move".
Mobility plays a key role in unlocking the potential of India's future economy and its people. As the country with the world's second largest population and as the fourth largest producer of vehicles, India now strives towards alternative options for a sustainable future mobility, for example electric vehicles and other alternative drive systems. Converging technological and social trend lead to a fundamental shift from personally owned vehicles to shared mobility and driverless cars. This change requires the acquisition of new knowledge and skills.
With this online event iMOVE facilitated new business opportunities for German training providers offering various qualification courses and programs for the automotive sector. The following four organizations showcased their offers in short pitches:
