ENTREPRENEURSHIP TEACHING FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS: A CASE STUDY Karla Vaz Siqueira Cañete, Thais Marinho Cardoso

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has become the great engine of the world economy and a chance to change the reality of many people. Professionals undertake out of necessity, but younger people have shown interest in setting up their own business as a way to experience a work model with greater freedom of action and that meets the aspirations of agility that the new generations show. Added to this is the fact that all competencies developed by entrepreneurial culture are highly required in any sector of the productive economy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide elementary school students with the opportunity to acquire the most sought after skills in the market since early adolescence in order to prepare them for work challenges.
