Duration and Place

The training program runs for 1 year with 5 days practical training combining theoretical sessions with offline workshops in Delhi and Pune. This hybrid approach ensured a comprehensive learning experience, integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application.

Participants

The program catered to a diverse group of students from various engineering disciplines, enrolled through Internshala’s platform. These students gained valuable insights and practical experience in EV technology, significantly enhancing their career prospects in the industry.

Testimonial from Internshala

Sarvesh Agrawal, CEO of Internshala, highlighted the success of the program in a LinkedIn post:

“We have seen a steady rise in the admissions for our EV (Electric Vehicle) course but it has been offered in fully online mode only till now. But what is core engineering without the touch and feel of the machines and the circuits? Now we are adding an offline component of 3 workshops (one week each, spread over the duration of the course) for our students in Delhi & Pune so that they can get truly ‘hands-on’ learning experience. We recently did a pilot of the first workshop in Delhi and the students loved it. A big shout-out to our steadfast partner DIYguru for leading the EV education revolution in India. Two organizations with complementary strengths but a common mission – to get every student the best start to their careers!”

Conclusion

This partnership between DIYguru and Internshala highlights DIYguru’s dedication to advancing education in emerging technologies. Through a structured curriculum and practical training, DIYguru successfully upskilled Internshala students, preparing them for the dynamic and evolving EV industry. This initiative underscores the importance of continuous learning and skill development in driving innovation and career growth in the field of electric vehicles.
