Abstract

The implementation of the UNICAM program in the      subzone of Miraflor-municipality of Estelí and in the      municipality of Las Sabanas-department of Madriz,      represents an opportunity for first-generation      graduates to train professionally and put into      practice the knowledge obtained, and thus promote      entrepreneurial and innovative businesses, taking      into account the community and local resources. The      methodologies applied within the UNICAM program,      such as the New School, have fostered the integration      and training of professionals contextualized to the      community reality.       

Systematization aims to reconstruct the experience      of graduates in the UNICAM program and assess      the contribution they are making to the community,      thus obtaining a socioeconomic transformation. This      corresponds to the qualitative paradigm, the approach      is focused on a participatory intervention process,      depending on the scope, it is a total systematization,      because it covers the entire experience. Due to the      type of experience, it is a systematization of programs      and retrospective, because it was carried out after      the completion of studies of two generations in two      territories, taking into account the years of education.      10 graduates and 2 teachers and 4 community leaders      participated, analytical and participatory collection      techniques were applied: observation, timeline, indepth      interviews and workshop for recognition and      improvement of entrepreneurship of the graduates.      The information was classified from the axes of      systematization, categories and subcategories, after      the stage of critical and interpretive analysis, the      conclusions, lessons learned and recommendations      were identified. The results show that the training      process was a phase to strengthen its sense of      belonging with its reality, developing competences      for innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability of      personal and collective resources; enabling survival      strategies, which places them as protagonists of the      changes and contributing to family and community      development.
