PROPOSAL FOR INSERTION AS A SHORT COURSE TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTEGRATIVE PROJECT IN THE NATIONAL COURSE PLANS OF THE NATIONAL SERVICE FOR COMMERCIAL APPRENTICESHIP – SENAC
Intellectual Property. Entrepreneurship. Technology Transfer. Innovation. Vocational Education.
Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer as a short course articulated with the Integrative Project of the National Course Plans of SENAC, focusing on programs within the Management and Business technological axis. The main objective is to develop a 16-hour learning path that fosters essential competencies in innovation and the protection of intangible assets, preparing students for a dynamic and technology-driven labor market. The specific objectives include discussing the relevance of these topics in technical and professional education, identifying courses that address them, even if transversally, and structuring an applicable and replicable pedagogical proposal. The methodology adopted is exploratory and qualitative, based on extensive bibliographic and documentary research, with a temporal scope from 2019 to 2025. The sources used include scientific databases such as Scielo, Google Scholar, CAPES Journals, PROFNIT repositories, and official documents from INPI, MEC, INEP, and SENAC. Empirical data collection was carried out through the analysis of SENAC's National Course Plans and the application of a closed-ended questionnaire to students in the Management and Business courses at SENAC Macapá, using Microsoft Forms and Teams platforms. The investigation included the mapping of 37 technical education institutions in the state of Amapá, revealing that although entrepreneurship is present in a transversal manner, the topics of intellectual property and technology transfer are rarely addressed in a structured way within curricula. As a result, a technical-technological product was developed in the form of a learning path, validated through SWOT analysis and the Business Model Canvas, structured based on active methodologies and the frameworks of WIPO and PROFNIT. The proposal strengthens the innovation ecosystem, promotes student protagonism, and enhances professional training through practical and collaborative experiences. It is concluded that the structured inclusion of these themes in the Integrative Project broadens students' strategic vision and contributes to consolidating a culture of innovation within the context of Brazilian professional education.
