The relationship between capacities and entrepreneurial intention in secondary school students.

Education in entrepreneurship is a key factor in intentions to create companies. Given that adolescence is an ideal stage to acquire knowledge, secondary schools and universities are tasked with the challenge of offering educational programs. This study identifies potential entrepreneurs from among 897 secondary school's students and analyzes their entrepreneurial skills in motivation, risk, dedication, empathetic and communication. Results indicate that there is a high percentage of potential entrepreneurs among secondary school and that entrepreneurship is not limited to a specific field, but rather it is recognized as a future employment option regardless of the studies students want to pursue.
