It is a part of MB's global learning Iraland programme. In India, it has partnered with three Government Polytechnic Pune (GPP), Government Polytechnic Aurangabad and Government Engineering College Trivandrum (GECBH).

In the service area, we are growing at a CAGR of 30 per cent, and the demand for trained manpower is so high that there is a fight for them. Apart from these skills, the workforce will also develop their interpersonal skills through the programme,” says Eberhard Kern, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
According to Devdutta Chandavarkar, vice president, after sales and training and member of the board management, there is a huge demand for technically trained people in auto industry. After graduating, the students are recruited not only by MBI, but other auto companies as well.
It is a third Mercedes-Benz car to Government Polytechnic Pune and a second car to Government Polytechnic Aurangabad. Globally, the offers similar kind of courses in around 25 countries. The Company has trained 370 students since the inception of the course in 2006, and absorbed nearly half of them in their workshop and dealerships across India. Also, MBI plans to forge a partnership with a fourth northern part of the country.
The partnership of MBI with Government Polytechnic is a milestone on the path towards modernization, practical relevance and flexibility of vocational education and training in India.
