Summary of the 2022 Entrepreneurship Conference of the Technological Institute of Higher Education of Calkiní

In June, the Technological Institute of Higher Education of Calkiní held the 2022 entrepreneurship fair, where 19 entrepreneurial projects from the Sustainable Agricultural Innovation Engineering educational program presented their innovative enterprises.

According to Mario Ben-Hur Chuc Armendariz, coordinator of the Sustainable Agricultural Innovation Engineering Program and facilitator of the Transforming Higher Education project at ITS Calkiní, some of these students already have successful businesses in their communities and each initiative was led by an eighth-semester student, supported by classmates from sixth, fourth and second semester.

“The purpose of this distribution is that the eighth-semester student learns how to do teamwork, solve problems through dialogue among his co-workers, teach their younger classmates how to make decisions based on values ​​and ethics; but the most important thing is to start with the change of entrepreneurial mentality as soon as they start their career, as well as part of the training to be a leader and agent of change in their classroom, institute and community”, concludes Chuc.
