The Efficiency with which Kenya's Entrepreneurship Training Programs Operate

While entrepreneurial education is critical for company performance, there has been a trend toward overemphasizing financial, legal, and regulatory aspects, as well as environmental variables. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of entrepreneurship training on the performance of businesses in Bungoma County. It was justified on the grounds that Bungoma County was designated as a Millennium District in 2006 due to its high levels of poverty and unemployment. The twin challenges of extreme poverty and unemployment have been ascribed to a lack of entrepreneurial culture and entrepreneurial skills among the indigenous people, despite attempts by stakeholders to increase entrepreneurs' ability through a variety of training programs. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not these trainings had an effect on enterprise performance. The study used Kirkpatrick's Improved Model of Training Planning and Evaluation as its foundation. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the study's data. As a result of the study's findings, it is apparent that the trainings resulted in a negligible increase in MSE performance. There was no evidence of graduation from micro to small to medium to big firm sizes throughout the enterprise continuum, indicating the need for improvement in order to satisfy the unique demands of entrepreneurs and small business operators. The government and enterprise development agents require a standardized approach for evaluating the impact of training and subsequently improving it in order to aid the sector's growth.
