A decade ago entrepreneurship programs weren’t mainstream at many college campuses but that’s changed in recent years as schools look to attract more students interested in starting their own businesses, and create stronger ties with the business community.
Several Hartford-area universities have accelerated their entrepreneurship offerings. The latest to join the effort is Trinity College, a well-known liberal arts school that has been expanding its career-oriented programs to include things like tech training.
Trinity College is opening a new Center for Entrepreneurship, which school officials said will support students, faculty and alumni hoping to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.
The new center, which was announced Monday, will be “student-focused and promote entrepreneurial thinking, said Trinity Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs Sonia Cardenas. She said the center will provide any liberal arts major with the confidence and “know-how” to turn their innovative ideas into action.
