Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC recently partnered with the Ceylon German Technical Training Institute (CGTTI) for the 12th consecutive year to conduct its informative technical course on 'Lubrication essentials and future trends in the automotive industry' for over 150 final year automotive students registered for CGTTI's main diploma program.

As one of the leaders in the local finished lubricant business, Chevron has developed a relationship with CGTTI over the years to gear future automobile engineers with the essential industry knowledge and training on automotive and industrial lubricant technology, and the latest industry trends.

Chevron formed an alliance with CGTTI in February 2001, introducing a number of training programs for CGTTI students aspiring to be hands-on professionals in the automotive sector.

The technical courses conducted by senior Caltex lubricant technology experts provide CGTTI final year students a more practical and insightful understanding of the lubricant industry dynamics, locally and globally.

"As a socially responsible organisation, Caltex is aware of its responsibility towards society. The organisation believes that 'the students of today are the future leaders of tomorrow' and hence need to be groomed and moulded to take up the challenges in the automotive industry," a company spokesman said.

"The company is involved in technical seminars, presentations and education campaigns for various industry stakeholders including channel partners, direct and indirect customers and technical students," he said.
