Abstract:
This study assesses the impact of entrepreneurial training needs among women
entrepreneurs in Southeast Nigeria. The study employed exploratory research design and primary
data was collected using copies of structured questionnaire from 360 sample respondents. The
data collected was analysed using spearman’s rank correlation and multiple regression analysis.
The research findings revealed that bookkeeping training needs and Credit recovery training
needs emerged as a significant factor in enhancing the performance of women entrepreneurs. On
the other hand, access to finance training needs had a highly significant negative impact on the
performance of women entrepreneurs. Based on the findings, the study recommends that
Government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other relevant stakeholders
should collaborate to provide comprehensive and accessible bookkeeping, access to finance and
credit recovery training to women entrepreneurs. This will enable them to develop effective
financial management skills, make informed decisions, and improve overall business performance.
