Effects of training on the entrepreneurial attitude and social skills of Caucan ethnic communities

Abstract

1. i) Introduction: Education and training in entrepreneurship are recognized as potentials for the generation of better economic conditions both at the macro level and in people's lives, however, the results of the training programs can be questioned by not incorporating the differential approach for ethnically differentiated rural communities. ii) Objective: The research investigated the incidence of social skills on the entrepreneurial attitude in peasant, indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities of Cauca, as a result of the SENA Emprende Rural training program. iii) Methodology: Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive and correlational design, the differences between the ex-ante and ex-post moment of participation in the training program were identified. iv) Results: According to the findings, no significant changes are evidenced in response to the training and validate the correlation between entrepreneurial attitude and social skills. v) Conclusions: The above is explained by curricular designs without a differential approach and few participants in the research given the geographic isolation and connectivity difficulties where these communities live.
