Abstract
This research aimed to determine the existence of a relationship between social skills and entrepreneurial attitude in students in the last grade of secondary school of an educational institution in Peru. For this purpose, a quantitative study of a correlational level was carried out between two variables in a sample of 199 students of an educational institution in the city of Lima (Peru). The results indicated that the students presented a low level of entrepreneurial attitude and social skills (59.6%) and (42.4%) respectively. In addition, a high correlation was found between entrepreneurial attitude and social skills (0.759), this being a significant relationship (p=0.000). It was concluded that a student who shows social performance will be able to develop an entrepreneurial spirit. This is how education plays a fundamental role for the development of entrepreneurial behavior within his/her socialization process.
