*5.1. Limitations and Future Research*

Despite new insights provided, the research work is not free of limitations. This study is exploratory, although it provides clues about the design of education program focus on entrepreneurial competences, a deeper analysis is needed. The results reveal a positive effect on employability from the point of view of students, lecturers and entrepreneurs but a longitudinal study, the inclusion of more universities will provide vital support for the validity of this research work. The study has chosen only one university, although the case shows that training entrepreneurial competences achieves to improvement in their professional profile, it is necessary a further examination to provide a complete vision of the phenomenon. Likewise, additional data about the effects on the entrepreneurial intention from training activities should be carried out in order to confirm the reliability and validity of this first approach. Additionally, employability should be studied in the future not only supported in the students' personal evaluation and this vision should be completed with the perception of companies that recruit graduates.

Despite the deepening development of entrepreneurship, there are still certain under-researched areas particularly relating entrepreneurial competences to employability. Future research may place more emphasis on empirical evidence that will show how the different training activities improve and reinforce key competences in a successful professional development with one's own business or working for whichever company. Moreover, it could also be interesting to explore how the university community (students and lecturers) reach a wider understanding of entrepreneurship, thus overcoming stereotypes about entrepreneurship and about traditional learning methods based on intensive knowledge and less on practical and valuable competences in the labour market. This requires more qualitative, phenomenon-driven research, which is especially effective in addressing how higher education can ensure better current requirements for their graduates and companies as well.

Additionally, it would be of interest to carry out a comparative analysis at an international level to establish how, beyond cultural factors, the approach of each university in this field can raise the levels of entrepreneurship in the university community and determine the differences in student entrepreneurial intention and in the improvement of each entrepreneurial competence according to the type of activity. For this purpose, additional multivariate analysis can provide a good basis for progress in this area and making sense of this first exploratory study. Further research based on mixed-methods can hopefully allow for generalizing this result.
