The term Community College denotes a community-oriented approach to education. It is a community-based educational initiative aimed at providing job-oriented courses to youth from local communities. Typically, skill-based courses are offered to learners below the degree level, enabling them to gain direct access to employment opportunities.
The primary objective of a Community College is to provide affordable and accessible skill-development programmes to the youth in and around the institution by effectively utilizing the available infrastructure and facilities. Santhigiri College aspires to establish a Community College at the earliest, with the goal of fulfilling its social responsibility towards the surrounding community, particularly the marginalized and underprivileged sections of society.
The Community College will offer both short-term and long-term courses, catering not only to unemployed youth but also to individuals seeking to upgrade their skills and enhance their employability.
