Materials and Methods: It used a quantitative survey design, with a sample of 14 teachers and 28 students of 8th and 9th semester of the program of social work at the University of La Guajira.

Application/ Improvements: From the competency approach, all educational institutions of different levels must be concerned with the development of end-to-end skills for working life, looking for that students prepare to be productive in the world of work or in the productive sector, from this perspective.
