Productive technical education centres (CETPROs) are often left aside in research studies which mainly focus on universities and various institutes. Hence this study is an attempt to fill in this gap and demonstrate the competencies of students from these education centres. The main objective is to describe and analyse the perceptions of the students about their entrepreneurial skills. The study involved 253 students from two centres of productive technical education who participated through a voluntary and anonymous on-line survey. This study is descriptive with cross-sectional correlational variables, with a quantitative approach. The results show a high average level in the knowledge of entrepreneurial competencies, validated by the value of Cronbach’s alpha (0.969) and other valid and reliable statistics. The results also indicate that support is needed from the training institution in offering internships, scholarship and other forms of assistance at the national or international level. In conclusions is highlighted the need for an entrepreneurial educational framework, and hence emerging curricular changes at the national level.
