Popis: Educational cooperatives are educational entities of a social nature that bring together a group of members, united under the same needs, who pursue the creation and maintenance of jobs in times of economic recession. They intend to offer an innovative, effective and quality service based on the leadership and continuous training of professionals of this type of school. The objective of this study is to know the business, training and leadership aspects of the cooperative teacher of the Autonomous City of Ceuta. For this purpose, a quantitative method of descriptive type was chosen, using an ad hoc questionnaire for the collection of data in a sample of 68 teacher-members belonging to the 3 teaching cooperatives of said city. Based on the results, a dominance of the feminine gender and an advanced age among the teachers-partners of the analyzed cooperatives is obtained. These professionals know the peculiarities that these entities present and although they trust in the investment made, they reflect bureaucratic deficiencies for cooperative management. In terms of leadership, experts are aware of this phenomenon and give it great relevance. But, on the training level, they have poor business knowledge and although they consider that continuing education is important, most do not usually do more than 2 courses a year. It is concluded that these professionals make up an elderly female profile that relies on leadership as a phenomenon to energize the entity but do not have the necessary knowledge to successfully manage this type of educational centers, requiring specialized training in the business field.
