The objective of this research was to identify the entrepreneurial skills developed in Graduates in Business Management and Management (LGDN) of the Universidad Veracruzana. For this, a quantitative methodological approach has been chosen, with a descriptive cross-sectional scope. The technique used to collect the data was the survey, while the methodological procedure consisted in the application, through Google Drive, of a questionnaire with 15 closed questions. The sample consisted of 70 graduates belonging to five generations of the aforementioned degree. The pilot test was developed with 15 different graduates. The results indicate that 73% of respondents consider themselves an entrepreneur, although only 15.7% have a thriving business. Similarly, 17% conceive of entrepreneurial skills as important for work performance, although 37.1% lack this type of skills. For this reason, it is transcendental to apply an educational experience in the LGDN curriculum to develop and strengthen the entrepreneurial skills of each student, because that way they will be able to identify and enhance the characteristics of entrepreneurial behavior.

Keywords : self-employment; entrepreneurial skills; unemployment; graduates.
