Bootcamps have gained prominence as an intensive form of learning focused on developing practical skills, problem-solving and collaborative work. This article reports on the experience of 28 students in a higher education context, in the centre of Portugal, as part of the subject of Entrepreneurship, which was taught by using the Bootcamp methodology. This initiative integrated the 2nd year study plan of the Degree in Social Education and the 1st year of the Higher Professional Technical Course in Digital Communication. This study aims to assess students’ perceptions of the methodology and learning model implemented, as well as the skills developed, with reference to the main skills that students need to develop for the labour market, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2023, the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the OECD's Learning Compass 2030. To this end, data was collected through a questionnaire survey and a focus group discussion with the students involved. The main results suggest that the Bootcamp, as a learning methodology that differs from traditional expository models, because it shows a disruptive approach in the way essential skills for the labour market are developed in a more practical and rapid way, has succeeded, on the one hand, in boosting the creation and development of socially innovative solutions with the potential to promote positive social change and, on the other hand, in favouring the development of transversal skills, such as collaborative work, adaptability, critical thinking and interpersonal communication.
