About Us

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION TRAINING CENTRE (IATC), Panchkula is an upcoming and recognized training centre, promoted under a Public – Private Partnership project supported by the German Government via the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) Gmbh, Siemens Ltd. and IAG Automation (P) Ltd. with the aim of operating in a rapidly changing customer oriented environment in the training areas of automation and other emerging technologies.  It is for the first time that GTZ has joined hands with a private enterprise  (IAG Automation (P) Ltd.) to setup a training centre in India.

The Centre is an autonomous organization registered with Registrar of Societies, Haryana under the Societies Registration Act 1860. It is managed by a Governing Council. Director is the executive head of the centre.

The Centre has excellent infrastructure in terms of sophisticated laboratories in the field of Industrial Automation Controls, Mechatronics and Production enabling it to deliver quality and excellence in all its areas of activity. It has qualified and experienced faculty with good industrial exposure for conducting programs to meet the increasing needs in the field of training through innovative methodologies and new tools, essential to give the centre a competitive edge.

The emphasis of IATC will be on offering a wide range of high quality innovative training programs with particular focus on automation related industry and also other emerging technologies. The target group envisaged covers all levels of working professionals from industry, faculty, staff and students of engineering institutions and community covering women, backward and disadvantaged strata of society. In terms of agreement with GTZ, 50% of the seats for community programs are reserved for the above section of society. IATC has several initiatives in the pipeline to ensure achievement of its stated objectives. In its endeavour to play a significant role in the national and eventually international arena, it would foster professional, managerial and technical development and integrate local resources to improve the skills of managers at all levels and the working professionals from industry. The basic premise of training would be to enable the trainees to become capable of performing the role of internal “agents of change” at the end of the training. While the technical skills up-gradation programs would be centre-based, the management programs could be conducted as in-house, or location specific for a cluster of local industry.

The activities of the centre are undertaken with the optimism that training at IATC would be a bench mark in engineering profession and technical education, and that those trained here would have a bright future on the basis of their being enabled to take on responsibility, apply technical skills and make sound decisions.
