Young adults in vulnerable conditions in rural and urban areas face different social and economic problems and lack of job opportunities due to the ongoing armed conflict in the country. For this reason, young people are seeking to create their own business (entrepreneurship) that generates economic income and supports their families. However, they do not have the knowledge to create a sustainable business. In this article, we conducted research focused on implementing a pilot learning program to strengthen entrepreneurship among economically vulnerable youth in the midst of armed conflict. Under the principles of case studies, a mixed investigation was carried out through a survey and the semi-structured group interview of young people from the rural and urban sectors of two communities located in the municipality of Popayán, capital of the region of Cauca. The implementation results of the program were based on 3 identified factors: 1) perception and motivation to undertake, 2) knowledge and entrepreneurial skills, and 3) limitations of entrepreneurs. Based on this, a new vision of entrepreneurship and the application of administrative concepts in their entrepreneurial ideas was achieved. The greatest limitation is the lack of financial resources to start the ventures and give them continuity. It is concluded that in order to solve the need, not only must comprehensive training processes be implemented in entrepreneurship but also active government support mechanisms must be available. The program proposed in this article is unprecedented and innovative, since it is contributing to the social and sustainable development of regions with difficult access and vulnerable conditions, forming young leaders capable of influencing the relevant decisions of the transformative processes of society.
