Goodyear Thailand, in partnership with the Samutprakarn Institute for Skill Development, organized its fifth Technical Training Program for 2017 for automotive technicians from September 18–21. This year, the technical training program was uniquely structured to conduct the "Wheel Alignment, Tire Balancing" workshop in order to reinforce the technical skills development and technical standards among technicians' representatives from Goodyear Autocare stores nationwide.

This current training program gives an opportunity to Goodyear Autocare stores to send their technicians' representatives to participate in the program. The representatives must have at least two-years of experience in vehicle tires, car suspension, wheel alignment and tire balancing. The purpose of this training is uniquely designed to enhance the skills development and labor potential among automotive technicians from Goodyear's aligned dealers and technical service staff in order that they increase their technical skills, knowledge and capacity to meet the required standards and needs of the workforce.

Mr. Finbarr O'Connor, Managing Director of Goodyear Thailand, said, "We are committed to further raising awareness towards the importance of safety, including the skills development among all technicians of Goodyear Autocare stores to be able to increase their expertise to meet standards at the international level. This year, Goodyear continues to organize its technical training program for automotive technicians from Goodyear Autocare stores nationwide. Technical skills and knowledge provided by a team of experts includes safety in the workplace, car suspension including an accurate process of dismantling and reassembling, tire removal and balancing, as well as inspecting and wheel alignment, for instance."

This program is uniquely structured to enhance tire and automotive service knowledge among all associate levels at Goodyear Autocare stores nationwide. Over the years it has been successful in helping to ensure that the company's aligned technical service staff are best able to deliver the highest levels of customer service and advice to consumers, while also working to lift the overall standards in the industry.
