Identificación de Competencias Clave para la Generación Alfa

Abstract

The project has allowed us to identify and analyze the key skills that Generation Alpha students in public and private schools in Bogotá need for their professional and personal development. Through surveys conducted in both types of institutions, we gathered data that reflects educational priorities, revealing strengths and areas for improvement in competencies such as leadership, ethics, teamwork, technological skills, and entrepreneurship. The results show notable differences between public and private school students regarding their readiness for the workforce. Private school students generally show higher familiarity with advanced technological tools, while public school students demonstrate a strong foundation in teamwork values and resilience. However, both groups show a need to strengthen their leadership and ethical skills. Based on these findings, we have developed recommendations to integrate business administration principles into the school curriculum in a way that meets current labor market demands. This approach will provide students with a well-rounded education, equipping Generation Alpha with the tools needed to face challenges and seize opportunities in an ever-evolving world.
