ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING AS A DEMAND OF THE DIGITAL SOCIETY: possibilities from the educational metaverse

Abstract

This article aims to raise questions about entrepreneurial training, being mediated in the context of the digital society. In addition, challenges are presented and alternatives are proposed so that this mediation is consistent and meaningful for the student, from a vision of Education based on the concepts of the Metaverse. To do so, we started with a contextualization of the concept of entrepreneurship and its social and economic importance. It was found that, despite entrepreneurship being widely discussed, it is clear that in some cases there is disagreement about the scope of the term. Then, the digital society and the challenges of entrepreneurs inserted in this context are discussed, where the “new” is updated every second. From the analysis, it is concluded that it is essential to insert, throughout the entrepreneurial training, ICT that allow simulating the activities and problem-solving scenarios found in today’s market.
