CNH Industrial NV : TechPro2 Launches Youth Training Programme in South Africa

CNH Industrial, in cooperation with Don Bosco Educational Projects, and with the support of its brand Iveco, has launched a professional youth certificate programme in Ennerdale, Johannesburg.

According to a release from the Company, the inauguration ceremony took place on April 23 at the Don Bosco Educational Projects School in Ennerdale. The ceremony was attended by local representatives as well as employees from CNH Industrial who were directly involved in bringing this project to fruition.

"TechPro2 has created a model for innovative relationships between schools and the professional workforce. Students will rediscover a passion for learning and studying and are then able to put it all into practise. They will feel more in charge of their own lives, already having a foot in the door and receiving further encouragement to make the most of their potential," said Daniela Ropolo, Sustainable Development Initiatives Manager for the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) & APAC (Asia Pacific) regions at CNH Industrial, in her speech at the ceremony.

CNH Industrial will provide funding and resources to the programme inSouth Africa, which will train 12 students each year. Upon completion, the graduates will earn a certificate in Professional Commercial Vehicles Mechanics. This certificate will be recognised by the South African government agency MerSETA. Graduates are then provided with internship opportunities within the company's local network to put their newly-learned skills to work, gaining valuable on-the-job experience.
