Entrepreneurial Development Centre
The EDC of Holy Cross College was started in September 2004 to impart entrepreneurial skill training so as to enable our students to become self-employable. Various Certificate Courses are offered by EDC like Arts and Handicrafts, Tailoring (Basic and Advanced), Flower Making, Doll Making, Embroidery, Beautician courses, etc. Every year, more than 350 students benefit from these courses. The Centre also facilitates the Departments in offering Skill-Based Elective Courses as part of their curriculum in Undergraduate Programmes.
In July 2019, the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI), Tamil Nadu, along with Anna University, Trichy (HUB), identified our college as one of the Spoke Colleges under a comprehensive program called the Academic Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Program (AIEDP) via the HUB and SPOKES model.
The members of the E-Cell have access to participate in programs conducted by EDII TN like Top Management Meet, FDP, MOOC Programme, Ideation, Tamil Nadu Student Innovators Challenge, E-Leader Training, Growth Hackathon, Branding & Public Relations, Student Startup Showcase & Summit, Awareness Camps, and more. This enables our students to strengthen their entrepreneurial qualities and transform their innovative ideas into new products and services that better serve society.
