Entrepreneurship education is a lifelong learning process, starting as early as elementary school and progressing through all levels of education, including adult education. The standards and their supporting performance indicators are a framework for teachers to use in building appropriate objectives, learning activities, and assessments for their target audience, namely, students of science and engineering colleges, polytechnics, and entrepreneurship.

Faculty Development Programmes (FDPs) are designed to train and develop professionals in entrepreneurship development so that they can act as resource persons in guiding and motivating young S&T persons to take up entrepreneurship as their career. Faculty development programmes provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to help develop entrepreneurs in their respective institutions. ITCOT conducts faculty development programmes with the support of sponsoring agencies. We also help institutions in organizing specific in-house programmes for institutions and its faculty members to foster entrepreneurial culture.

Business meets provide opportunities for one-to-one interaction among participants to facilitate seller-buyer interaction, explore investment and business opportunities, to enable technology transfer or tie-up, to select the right plant and equipment, to evolve market entry strategies, and so on. These events are organized for the benefit of producers, sellers, buyers, exporters, importers, technology providers, equipment suppliers, consultants, institutions, and such other.
