Entrepreneurial Intention of Students at University of Guadalajara

This study examines the effectiveness of experiential learning in fostering entrepreneurial intentions among university students to use the Synergy project as a case study (CUCEA, CUCBA, and CUSUR, UdeG Network). By integrating training education with soft skills development in multidisciplinary teams, the initiative seeks to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical entrepreneurial application. Despite extensive research on entrepreneurial intentions, the specific impact of experiential learning and self-perception of capabilities within multidisciplinary collaboration remains underexplored. When using a quantitative approach, structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze data from participating students, with reliability and validity evaluated via CFA. Results indicate experiential learning enhances business task performance, motivation and entrepreneurial interest with self-perception and entrepreneurial orientation that play key roles in this process. The study recommends integrating experiential learning into curricula to strengthen entrepreneurial skills, foster collaboration and promote sustainable innovation in alignment with global development frameworks.
