Current situation and training gaps. Pastos y Forrajes [online]. 2016, vol.39, n.3, pp. 143-150. ISSN 2078-8452.

A study was conducted in order to identify the training gaps regarding the managerial capacity; the current situation in institutions, organizations and projects with regards to the determination of the demand of capacity building on entrepreneurial culture and management in the farming sector; as well as the actors with possibilities of undertaking work as promoters, facilitators and trainers, who would respond to a training program proposed for years 2015-2017. For compiling the information surveys were applied to actors associated to the farming sector, in institutions and projects at national and territorial level; and workshops were also carried out. The demanders stated that 60 % of their needs are framed in the logistics and infrastructure area, followed by capacity building to assume the transformations of the surroundings and the new ways to manage economic activities and people. However, for the providers, the equipment and capacity building on topics related to entrepreneurial culture and management constitute the relevant aspects. Fifty-five new economic activities were identified, from which 39 are related to providing services of technical advisory, introduction of technologies and talent formation. This determines the need to develop, in the actors of the institutions and contexts, the necessary capacities to guarantee the success of the new enterprises. In this sense, demanders as well as providers stated that the biggest efforts should be aimed at the advanced management of people and capacity building to promote innovation in the institutions. The work alerts about the importance of developing training programs on entrepreneurial culture, which are not only referred to the formation of enterprises and business plans, but also create values and expectations in people; so that they are receptors of the changes and also participants, in a such a way that they can respond to the constant transformations that are developed in the Cuban context at present
