IMTMA through its Tech Centres in Bengaluru, Pune and Gurugram impart training for young engineers who graduate from various colleges. The training imparted by industry experts makes them industry ready and employable. IMTMA’s short-term and long-term training courses for engineers working in various manufacturing industries have upgraded the skill sets of engineers.

In furtherance of this IMTMA conducted a Foundation Course in Industrial Automation from 18th February 2019 to 20th March 2019. Fourteen students from various institutions underwent training at IMTMA and were awarded certificates. Two of them were placed in Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts as engineers.
