Yamaha Motors Pvt. Ltd. has inaugurated a technical institute known as Yamaha training School (YTS) at the Bosco Boys Welfare society, situated in Borivali Mumbai. The Bosco Boys Welfare society is one of the partner organization of Don Bosco Development society.

The Yamaha training School will provide training to underprivileged youth to improve their technical skills and ultimately supports them to secure a job in future at Yamaha dealerships. This initiative is to empower and promote Indian youths mainly that belongs to economically weaker sections of the society. Bosco Boys Welfare society is a part of company’s CSR activities, the company has adopted various Government/private institutions and partnered with different NGO’s to launch Yamaha training School  (YTS) at Yamaha Technical certification (YTA).

Those from minority and economically weaker sections will be given technical training. Upon successful completion of the training, the students will receive Yamaha technical academy certificate and later, they will be employed at Yamaha dealerships as a technician of the two-wheeled machines.  

Masaki Asano, Managing Director in Yamaha motors India sales Pvt. Ltd. said, “At present, there is a huge skills gap in the automobile Industry which is fast growing in India, there is a vast abilities crack in the industry and a number of youths are pushed towards unemployment due to lack of technical skills. This school provides a platform to the economically weaker sections and unemployed youth to obtain a job-oriented technical training in two-wheeler repair and servicing  that meets industry standards. Upon successful completion of the course, the students will receive a certification by Yamaha Technical Academy that will help them gain suitable employment within the industry."

This is a good initiative to encourage and promote the economically backward youth that will help them to lead a protected life self-sufficiently. We hope more such manufacturers should mate with reputed NGO’s in India and inspire economically different sections.
