A proposed program from perspective of social group work method and developing university youth groups' awareness of entrepreneurial skills

Abstract EN

This study aims to design a proposed program in terms of group work to boost the awareness of university youth groups about entrepreneurial skills.

Given this, the analytical descriptive and the general social survey methodologies were put into effect to a population of (207) male and female university youths, to whom an online questionnaire was applied.

Put into practice, the study reached some results, the most significant of which are: the potential to compete and create innovative marketing ideas of the project, and the potential to make appropriate decisions that are commensurate with projects with positive goals.

Among the most important entrepreneurial skills for university youth groups are, respectively, entrepreneurship technical skills for university youth groups, business management skills, besides entrepreneurship personal skills for university youth groups.

Pertaining to the barriers which hinder promoting university youth groups' awareness of entrepreneurial skills, the study stresses the lack of training programs meant for youths on entrepreneurship, the deficiency of societal awareness of entrepreneurship value, the complexity of laws and procedures that regulate starting a private business, and the insufficiency of funds essential to implement enterprises.

Key Words: Program, Group Work Method, Awareness, Skill, Entrepreneurship.
