Kia India has partnered with the Automotive Skill Development Council (ASDC) to develop a trained talent pool for the country’s automotive sector. The initiative aligns with the Skill India Mission and aims to prepare professionals for a rapidly evolving industry.
The programme features a 30-day training curriculum, combining 15 days of classroom learning at ASDC-certified centres with 15 days of hands-on experience at authorised Kia dealerships. Participants will gain knowledge in core automotive concepts, dealership operations, and Kia-specific systems, processes, and brand standards, with a strong emphasis on product expertise.
Upon completion, candidates will receive joint certification from Kia India and ASDC and become eligible for recruitment into sales and service roles at Kia dealerships nationwide. The programme is designed to equip young professionals with technical skills while enhancing awareness of customer needs, particularly in the context of electric vehicle adoption.
Training at dealerships will be conducted under expert supervision to ensure recruits are workplace-ready from day one. The move also strengthens Kia’s dealer network with skilled employees capable of delivering high-quality service and customer engagement.
Kia India operates a manufacturing plant in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, with an annual production capacity of 3,00,000 units, and maintains 744 customer touchpoints across 329 cities in India. The partnership with ASDC is expected to generate employment while creating a future-ready automotive workforce.
