The Bühler Academy in Bengaluru develops young talent with high-quality vocational training.
Swiss technology group Bühler, having presence in India since 1993 has plans to hire about 300 employees over the next 2 to 3 years.
Speaking to media in Bangalore, Prashant Gokhale, Managing Director, Bühler India, said “We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Bühler India with a strong business case. Without our employees (over 600) we could not have achieved this new milestone in manufacturing in India for India. We move ahead with energy and commitment to keep adding value to our customers, teams, partners, and the country”.
For this journey, Bühler not only counts on the expertise and engagement of its teams but supports the development of its talents in a consistent and pragmatic way. The company has more than 100 years of history of vocational training, preparing young adults for a career in a global company such as Bühler or
beyond. Bühler India adopted an apprenticeship programme in 2009.
The Bühler Academy in Bengaluru develops young talent with high-quality vocational training. To date, about 200 apprentices have graduated from the Academy and around 80 are currently in training. Five different base programmes (from entry level to graduate apprentice), along with the Swiss Vocational Education and Training (VET) programme, and an Apprentice Exchange Programme are offered to the apprentices.
All these programmes comprise a carefully evaluated course module and follow a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical training. The growth plans also include investments in new talents for Bühler India.
