TechPro2: A brand new look for the specialised training project's website

LONDON, March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CNH Industrial and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) present the new website for their TechPro² initiative: a brand new look, new contents, and new features dedicated to students, dealers and workshops that are looking for new talent for their businesses.

TechPro² is a professional training project set up in 2008 as the result of a collaboration between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and CNH Industrial together with the Salesians of Don Bosco. The programme provides professional vocational training for young people. Its aim is to find, train and place highly qualified personnel in the automotive and commercial vehicles sector, especially within the authorised CNH Industrial and FCA networks. This is also being done with the help of the Salesians of Don Bosco. This initiative has expanded over the years and today counts some 55 vocational training centres around the world, with more than 9,300 students and has provided more than 240 thousand hours of professional training, in eight different languages.

The new website – www.techpro2.com – has a brand new look, contents and functionalities that have been updated so that students, dealers and workshops can all access information in a simple and efficient manner, presenting both new employment opportunities and qualified personnel for businesses. In addition to being able to find all the information concerning the project and its developments in the different areas of the world where it is active, students can also directly contact the schools whose detailed information and training courses are listed on the new site.

Operators in the sector, such as workshops and dealers looking for new and qualified staff, can alternatively get in touch with the schools in order to set up internships or new career paths for those students who are nearing the end of their professional training.

Another important update to this website is that students and professionals have the possibility to fill in an online form through which, a message will automatically be sent both to the schools concerned as well as the respective project managers at CNH Industrial and in FCA. This allows for the progress of the project to be constantly monitored. As such, the TechPro² initiative fulfils its two objectives: to guide young people from disadvantaged backgrounds that are looking for concrete job opportunities into the labour market, as well as to meet the needs of specialised operators for the various FCA and CNH Industrial authorised dealerships and workshops.
