Plan de Mejora para el Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje

Abstract

SENA's Entrepreneurship Fund was created by the National Government in Article 40 of Law 789 of December 27, 2002, to promote business creation and job creation in Colombia through forgivable and repayable seed capital. It is a key initiative in Colombia that supports entrepreneurs in the creation and development of their businesses. One of the main challenges it faces is the low sustainability rate of funded projects, which poses risks to the long-term viability of companies. This report presents relevant findings on this issue and details an improvement plan implemented during professional internships. This plan focused on strengthening entrepreneur training, providing technical support, and facilitating access to business support networks. Among the achievements are the creation of partnerships with financial institutions, the implementation of business management training workshops, and increased participation of entrepreneurs in industry fairs and events. These actions have resulted in a higher sustainability rate and an overall strengthening of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the country.
