Perceptions of Training in Entrepreneurship Among University Students

Abstract

This paper analyzed the perceptions in training for entrepreneurship by the university community from the School of Economic and Administrative Sciences at Uniminuto, Bello campus (Antioquia, Colombia), aiming to strengthen training strategies that meet the particular needs of the institutional context. The proposed methodology responds to an exploratory investigation that includes a self-administered questionnaire as a quantitative methodological design, and a semi structured interview as a qualitative methodological design. One of the results observed is the need to actively incorporate teachers as promoters of entrepreneurship in a transversal manner in the faculty’s curricular programs, so as to generate theoretical and practical training processes focused on topics such as innovation, marketing and finance.
