Report: Establishment of “Welding Training School” for students from

neighboring ITI at Toshiba JSW Chennai factory


Toshiba JSW power systems Private Limited (TJPS) established a “Welding Training School” to train the
students of neighboring ITI in welding technical skills for free, optimizing equipment for welding training
at its Chennai factory in Tamil Nadu state. TJPS held the inauguration ceremony on May 4th, and has
completed training of 30 students in 3 batches.

This welding training school was established as one of TJPS’s CSR activity with an estimation that India
may run short of welding engineers and skilled workers with fast economic growth. Toshiba’s President
and CEO, Mr. Hisao Tanaka introduced the concept of this school to Mrs. Wadhwa, Indian ambassador
residing in Japan during their meeting last year. We hope to contribute to the growth of Indian
manufacturing industries by offering good opportunities of welding training and other skill development
to the students from neighboring ITI to support “Make in India” initiative.

Following are contents of this training

■School and number of students


30 students recommended from ITI School, Mint and ITI School, Ambattur
(ITI School,Mint : 10 students including 1 female, ITI School, Ambattur : 20 students)
■Term
TJPS carried out 3 batches. One batch included 10 students and the duration of each batch was 12
days.

■Instructor
TJPS employees (engineers and experienced welders)
■Education Content
TJPS instructor lectured about the theory of welding technique and welding training at this school.
Regarding welding training, 5 students could be trained about two types of methods such as TIG
welding and MIG/MAG welding in each batch. The choice of the training type depended upon the
request from ITI School.
TJPS customized welding skill training on the basis of each student’s level after technical level check
at the beginning of the training.
Through this training, TJPS educated the students about the importance of safety, time
management, compliance of manuals, 5S of manufacturing process - Seiri (orderliness), Seiton
(neatness & tidiness), Seiso(cleaning), Seiketsu (cleanliness) and Shitsuke (good manner)- ,and
environmental awareness.
TJPS issued certificates on the occasion of completion of the training.
■Others
TJPS arranged the transportation of the students from school to the factory by bus and served lunch
at its canteen.

TJPS received a very positive feedback from the students and the ITI schools regarding the usefulness of
the training and there were also requests to extend the period of the training for more effectiveness.
According to the instructors in charge of training and education, the students were very motivated
during the training.

Regarding the duration of training, TJPS thought the term should be longer than 12 days at first.
However, they decided to arrange 12 days as a result of discussion with state government’s department
in charge of supervising ITI Schools.
Encouraged with the positive response, TJPS would like to continue this activity and will decide whether
the term should be extended or not after discussing with Tamil Nadu state and ITI schools based upon
the experience from this activity.

TJPS hopes that this activity is going to contribute to the improvement of the relationship between
Japan and India.
