Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has established its 67th Toyota Technical Education Program (T-TEP) at the Government Industrial Training Institute in Aizwal, Mizoram. The initiative, launched in collaboration with the Government of Mizoram and Zote Toyota, includes a new scholarship program called STAR (Scholarship Program for Technical Education and Recognition) to support economically disadvantaged students.
The program offers specialized training in automotive technologies, with TKM investing over Rs 1.5 million in infrastructure, e-learning content, and equipment. Eligible students can receive scholarships up to Rs 51,000 per year. Since its inception in 2006, T-TEP has trained over 13,000 students, with more than 70% finding employment in the automotive sector.
The program will expand to cover 10 additional states and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, furthering TKM’s commitment to skill development in rural areas and support of India’s ‘Skill India’ and ‘Make in India’ missions.
