Hands-On Training Backed by Industry Partners

The training is conducted in partnership with:

• Kathmandu Metropolitan City (Social Development Department)

• Changu Narayan Foundation

• Various auto companies and industrial firms

The goal: build a workforce ready for Nepal’s growing EV market.

What You’ll Learn During the OJT

The 6-month program covers:

• Diagnosing and repairing EV systems and batteries

• Electric motor servicing

• Handling high-voltage EV components

• General vehicle diagnostics and maintenance

• Safety and environmental best practices

This experience gives trainees a solid foundation to work in the auto repair sector or start their own EV service business.

Why This Training Matters for Nepal’s EV Shift

This program is more than just skills-building. It's Kathmandu preparing its workforce for the electric mobility future. As Nepal ramps up EV adoption, trained professionals will be key to keeping vehicles running safely and efficiently.
