Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 16: The International Automobile Centre of Excellence (iACE), a premier skill development institute in India, has officially launched its new flagship programme — the International Post Graduate Programme (iPGP) — aimed at grooming the next generation of global automotive professionals.
This one-year, full-time training programme is designed for fresh engineering graduates and working professionals seeking to upskill, specialise, and explore international career opportunities. On successful completion, candidates will receive a job offer and visa assistance for employment in Germany — the hub of global automotive innovation.
A Pathway to Global Automotive Careers
The iPGP course provides comprehensive training across the entire automotive value chain — from mechatronics and e-mobility to diagnostics and vehicle servicing. The programme also includes mandatory German language training up to B1 level, a requirement for both workplace integration and visa eligibility.
Additionally, candidates will receive hands-on project-based learning, exposure to advanced tools and technologies, and real-world internships with leading global auto brands. Upon completing the TUV PersCert certification exam and course requirements, participants are guaranteed job placement in Germany with a starting salary of EUR2,500+ per month (approx. Rs2.25 lakh), along with equal social security benefits as German citizens.
Why Germany, Why Now?
Germany, a world leader in automotive innovation, currently faces a major shortfall of skilled automotive technicians — over 5,000 positions need to be filled annually. As the country rapidly advances in electric mobility, smart manufacturing, and sustainable transportation, the need for globally competent professionals is more urgent than ever.
