Hyundai: Training of the skilled workers
IMPORTANT FURTHER EDUCATION The number of electric and hybrid vehicles on our roads is increasing significantly. This also poses new challenges for specialist teachers in the automotive sector. This makes their continuing education all the more important, and direct reference to practice all the more important.

This makes their further training all the more important, and the direct link to practice all the more important. In this context, Hyundai trained 50 specialist teachers from Swiss automotive vocational schools at the Winterthur training center this summer, including theory and handling of the latest fuel cell technology.
The future has long since begun
While the changeover to new drive technologies is in full swing on the road, vocational schools in the automotive industry are facing new tasks. They are at the forefront of ensuring the maintenance and operation of vehicles in the future.
At Hyundai, this future has long since begun. As a leading global manufacturer of alternative drive systems, Hyundai also offers the entire range of new technologies in Switzerland, from battery and H2 electric vehicles to hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
Courses booked up quickly
Accordingly, there was a great deal of interest in the Hyundai courses on alternative drive systems and hydrogen technology, as conducted this summer by the Swiss Association of Vocational School Teachers of Automotive Technology (SVBA) at the Hyundai Training Center Winterthur.
Thomas Tschumi, subject group leader and teacher of automotive engineering at the Lenzburg Vocational School, organizes and coordinates continuing education courses for the SVBA.
Thomas Tschumi: "It is important to us that vocational school teachers of automotive technology stay on the ball. Not only insiders know that Hyundai has become the technology leader for hydrogen technology and alternative drives. Hyundai was able to pass on a great deal of practical know-how in addition to theory, since the technologies are already on the market. More than that, the course participants even had the opportunity to drive the Hyundai NEXO, the latest generation of hydrogen electric vehicle."
