Abstract

This paper focuses on the identification of the entrepreneurial profile and the propensity to create companies by the students of the courses of Administration of the city of Cerro Largo- RS. Bring up the following problem: The students of the Administration course of UFFS and URI of Cerro Largo have an entrepreneurial profile and are they inclined to create their own business? In order to arrive at the answer of this question, a qualitative and quantitative research was carried out, through the application of a questionnaire containing questions related to the entrepreneurs profile of the students, propensity to open companies and questions to the suggestions to the pedagogical project of the courses. The survey is characterized as a census, which was attended by 199 students from both institutions. The questionnaire was applied during the month of September 2018. The results indicate that most of the students of the two institutions have a high level of entrepreneurial profile and there is a predominance of students who wish to undertake. It was also sought to analyze the factors that arouse the student's interest in undertaking and the obstacles and perceived facilities, where the most important factor for the student to undertake is personal desire, as obstacles stand out bureaucratic and marketing issues and facilities were the questions of market and ease of ideas. Finally, suggestions were made to the Pedagogical Projects of the Courses, the main proposals were the insertion of more practical activities, proposals of new disciplines and changes in some existing ones.
