Abstract
Entrepreneurship is a reality that is optimistic about the possibilities of development, progress and well-being. The economic policies of the most advanced countries encourage and promote actions for their citizens to implement their business ideas and generate their own jobs. In this research we will focus on the educational aspect that has traditionally been positively linked to formal entrepreneurship. The figure of the entrepreneur is key when generating social transformations and it is worth approaching not only his personal vision but also the perception that these promoters have different age groups.
In this sense, the University of Burgos through the Interuniversity Program of Experience and in the framework of training for older people, launches concrete actions to meet the needs, experiences and expectations of university majors in relation to entrepreneurship. We consider it of great importance that the University, as a long-standing institution in the field of knowledge, supports the processes of entrepreneurship with all the resources at its disposal, among them, the great human capital that is not only among its faculty or staff, but also in their classrooms, mainly those of the elderly.
We show in the present investigation the initial results of the qualitative study implemented through a discussion group in which the elders have discussed the concept of entrepreneurship, motives, aid, training and skills. The results will serve as a basis for future proposals and interventions.
