NEW DELHI : DeakinCo., the commercial arm of Australia’s Deakin University, has strategically partnered with Tata Management Training Centre (TMTC) to offer customized capability development programs for all levels of management in TATA group companies. These learning programs have been recognised and implemented in various Tata organisations.

Tata Management Training Centre, the learning arm of the Tata Group’s Human Resources, and DeakinCo. initiated a strategic partnership in September 2020, under which the latter will offer customized programs for organisations to address the unique learning and well-being needs of business during and post COVID times.

With the dramatic changes forced upon business by the global pandemic, continuous workplace learning has become all the more important. The first client under the alliance, Tata AIA, wished to build business-critical capabilities of its talent pool through a customised program. The program covered the key areas of strategy, leadership, people management, change management and decision making in the new digital era.

Since the alliance was formed in late 2020, it has already delivered multiple learning programs for Tata group companies and is collaborating on further programs to strengthen the alliance in the next financial year.

Speaking on the development, Professor Iain Martin, Vice Chancellor, Deakin University, said, “Aligned with the recently announced reforms to broaden and strengthen Australia-India relations, DeakinCo. and TMTC are pleased to contribute towards this mission and deepen their engagement moving forward. Deakin University is extremely pleased to be partnering with TMTC to offer targeted professional development solutions to the TATA Group. As a globally focussed university, the core of our mission is to work in partnership with local and international business, governments, communities, and educational organisations to make a difference in the world wherever we can. Our alliance with TMTC aligns well with this and, together, we can assist to prepare Tata’s workforce for the challenges of tomorrow.”

“At TMTC, we follow a culture of continual learning and development. We are delighted to associate with DeakinCo, whose expertise and experience will elevate our capability building programmes to build strong leaders with deeper and contemporary insights. Through these learning solutions, we aim to equip our Tata colleagues across all levels for improved workplace performance and to help scale the success ladder in the new digital normal culture,” said Emmanuel David, Director, TMTC.

Glenn Campbell, CEO, DeakinCo. said, “We are honoured to associate with TMTC to meet the unique learning needs of the workforce in these digitally disrupted times. This partnership is aimed to develop a scalable and practical solution that can be adaptable across multiple industries. With our expertise in enhancing workplace capabilities through digitally delivered learning, we are well-placed to support TMTC in transforming remote-working into a competitive advantage.”
