Abstract

TThis article entitled "Program for Strengthening
Entrepreneurs of the Municipal Trade Schools:
A significant practice in FAREM-Carazo", aims to
provide an overview of the function of the University
and specifically, of the social link of the university
community , made up of authorities, tutor teachers and
students interns with society, within the Strengthening
Program for Entrepreneurs of the Municipal Trade
Schools. In addition, it will serve as a sample of the
social bond promoted by UNAN-Managua from its
Regional Faculties. In this case, from the Regional
Multidisciplinary Faculty of Carazo, FAREM-Carazo
in the municipalities of La Paz and Diriamba in the
department of Carazo.
This article arises from the observation and experience
of those involved in the last two stages of the
Program, as a result of the participatory action of the
teachers involved with a qualitative approach, defined
by Sampieri Hernández, Collado Fernández, & Lucio
Baptista (2003), because it uses non-numerical data
collection to discover or refine research questions and
may or may not test hypotheses in its interpretation
process. In this case, through the collection of data
and specific experiences from the logs and reports of
students and teachers.
For this, the three main phases of the Strengthening
Program for Municipal Trade Schools "Innovating
and undertaking with my trade to prosper" will be
briefly exposed, which took place during the year
2022 and where the University as part of the National
Council of Universities (CNU) was directly involved. It
should be noted that this pilot program consisted of
three stages. In a first stage, in the words of the MSc.
Violeta del Socorro Gago García, director of the CNU
Innovation Commission, made herself available to
sixty-three tutors and mentors who were in charge
of formulating four courses related to Business
Innovation, Strategic Growth for Small Businesses,
Behavioral Development of the Entrepreneur and
Strategic Business Administration.
"After this stage, the CNU Innovation and Extension
Commissions provided support in the implementation
of the courses and the Internship Program" (CNU
Communication, 2022). In a second stage, the
students of the CNU member universities that have
a presence throughout the national territory formed
the "Love Brigades" to provide accompaniment to
the protagonists, supporting them in the preparation
of Business Plans. Finally, in a third stage, a regional
entrepreneurship fair was completed, where the
work of the students was shown together with the
teachers and protagonists, where the Business Plans
were announced and, in addition, it had the active
participation of the different institutions involved in
the closing ceremony.
