Paper Abstract:
|
The challenges in the labor market faced by individuals with 50 years old or older has compulsorily encouraged their
transition to entrepreneurship as an alternative. These individuals have several skills, however, these may not be sufficient
to develop a new labor activity. The main objective of this article is to characterize the learning paths and skills of these
entrepreneurs. For this, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five entrepreneurs from the city of São Paulo. Data
were analyzed through content analysis technique, considering the stages of analysis organization, categorization and
treatment, inference and interpretation of results. The identified categories included antecedents, similar learning paths and
skills. Among the skills, communication with the ecosystem and the need for multiple and constant learning stand out.
Theoretical, practical and social contributions emerge from this research. On the other hand, there is a limitation regarding
the generalization of the results, pointing to future research with broader samples. |
