Abstract: In this study, we examine which areas business and economics students consider relevant for a successful post COVID-19 recovery for a southeastern state in Mexico. For the analysis, we consider variables perceived as critical for a successful recovery including competencies (skills) needed for an economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, training requirements necessary to be competitive, available infrastructure and human capital. We conducted a non-experimental trans-sectional study using data from a survey of 1,530 business and economic college students. The results show that students consider they do not have the infrastructure and human capital to face economic recovery post-pandemic. The study concludes that investment of higher education institutions should focus on infrastructure, training, and skill development in areas such digital and technology for a successful economic and social recovery after the pandemic
