Abstract

This paper presents research results from an incubation experience on the Florianópolis-Continente Campus of the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina (IFSC), carried out between 2010 and 2013, and a brief history of incubation in the institution. The experience was examined in the light of methodological processes of Technological Incubators of Popular Cooperatives (ITCPs) of the South and Southeast of Brazil. The results point to the need for a methodological redefinition of institutional support to Solidarity Economy Enterprises (ESS) at IFSC. Based on the unsustainable situation of the EES at the stage of post-incubation, it proposes an alternative to the incubation processes, to ensure a systematic training and advice through a pedagogical project for a theoretical and practical course.

Keywords: associated work, solidarity economy, incubation.
