24 April, 2026
Second-semester students of the Business Administration program at the University of Cauca participated in an enriching hands-on learning experience in Valle del Cauca, within the framework of the Costs and Budgets course, through a business visit to renowned organizations in the region.

During this academic experience, they visited the companies Calzado Rómulo, Chocolates Andaluz, and the Fábrica de Vinos Onofre. The activity aimed to connect theory with practice and bring students closer to the business context, enriching their training process. During the tour, at Calzado Rómulo, the students learned firsthand about the production process of different footwear lines, where they identified the importance of production costs and quality as determining factors for business competitiveness.

Subsequently, they took part in the “Cocoa Route” at Chocolates Andaluz, where they explored the different stages of the process, from planting and harvesting to the production of chocolates with varying cocoa percentages. This experience allowed them to understand not only production processes, but also pricing strategies based on the product’s added value.

The day concluded at the Fábrica de Vinos Onofre, where, under the guidance of entrepreneur José Onofre, they learned about grape cultivation and the wine production process, strengthening their understanding of production chains and business management in real-world contexts. In addition to academic learning, the visit created spaces for integration among the students, supporting their adaptation to university life and strengthening skills such as teamwork and communication.

The activity was led by Professor Luis Ángel Meneses Cerón, from the Department of Administrative Sciences, Finance area, who guided the academic process and encouraged reflection on the practical application of cost and budget concepts. In this regard, he emphasized that, “This type of initiative allows students to confront theory with the operational reality of companies, enriching their professional training and consolidating the Business Administration Program as an academic benchmark in the region.”

With this type of experience, the University of Cauca continues to strengthen a comprehensive education that goes beyond the classroom, promoting experiential learning and the development of key competencies to face the challenges of the business environment, while reaffirming its commitment to academic quality and regional relevance.
