"A Ser Emprendedor se Aprende: Efectos de un Programa de Microemprendimiento"

Abstract

Este artículo reporta los resultados cualitativos de una evaluación realizada a un programa de microemprendimiento como estrategia para la superación de la pobreza. Se realizaron 16 conversaciones grupales donde participaron 120 personas. Los/as participantes dieron cuenta del proceso para emprender, detectándose especificidades desde la experiencia de mujeres en mayor vulnerabilidad. Estos resultados aportan información novedosa a la encontrada en evaluaciones de programas similares, enfocados en los resultados asociados a los negocios, sin mirar a la persona emprendedora. Se concluye sobre la relevancia de las capacitaciones y de la persona que las facilita, en la transmisión de conocimientos técnicos y competencias personales, así como la importancia de realizar ajustes en función de los distintos tipos de participantes.

This article reports the qualitative results of a program that supports entrepreneurship training in people as a strategy for overcoming poverty. 120 people participated in 16 evaluative group conversations. The main results were found in the process they carried out to engage in enterpreuning and particularities for women in a highest social vulnerability were detected. Those results provide new information to the already found in similar evaluations of programs focused on the effects related to the entrepreneurship, without noticing the person who engages in them. Conclusions arise about the importance of training, as well as the person who facilitates them, transmitting technical knowledge and personal competences. Also, the need to make adjustments according to the different kinds of participants is discussed.
