Abstract

This article is aimed to show the relationship between Entrepreneurship/Early Employment Opportunity - "E2" - as an add value and a new asset for the Chilean higher education system. It presents the preliminary findings of a proposal included in a unique model "E2" (Modelo EmprénDT y Modelo Movile, by Universidad del Pacífico). It is a strategy developing basic competences across all areas of professional formation for early employment and entrepreneurship in those students entering into the world of work as dependant or independent workers. This supplementary and voluntary education includes a set of skills adequate for the labor market and intended to close the gap among the internship, the graduation and the first professional job and/or free lance work (entrepreneurship).
