Entrepreneurship is present in all socioeconomic segments, including the university
environment, in which it is possible to prepare students for the job market, especially if they
have the desire to be an entrepreneur. This makes the university the central base for the
acquisition of knowledge about entrepreneurship, so that the student can undertake successfully
when he or she becomes an alumnus of higher education courses in the business area. The
present work had the general objective of investigating in which socioeconomic activities the
egresses of the Administration course of the Institute of Nature and Culture, undertake in the
municipality of Benjamin Constant, in Alto Solimões-Amazonas. The methodological
procedures that guided the research involved a qualitative and descriptive approach. Data was
obtained through a documental survey and field research, which was conducted via interviews
with eight graduates from the Administration course in the municipality of Benjamin ConstantAM.
As a result of the research, it was found that, in general, the majority are women, single,
have been in business between two and three years and have already taken professional
qualification courses in the area of activity, and two have already taken post-graduate courses,
as a continuation of their academic training. It is concluded that entrepreneurship has been
occupying a significant role in the most diverse economic segments, a fact that makes this
subject relevant in the university environment, signaling the need for greater institutional
attention as to the possibilities of training for the awakening of the entrepreneurial spirit of the
graduates, who should be continuously monitored by the institution that trains them, in order to
improve the relationship between theory and practice in the period of their academic training.
