Entrepreneurship is an important element of economic development because it does not
only produce physical products and provides services but it also generates employment at the same
time. Entrepreneurs develop new ideas through creativity and innovativeness and harness available
resources to reap profit from their business endeavors. Realizing the importance of entrepreneurship
that spurs economic growth, the government of Malaysia encourages future entrepreneurs to
participate in entrepreneurship training programs to ensure they increase entrepreneurship
capabilities and achieve sustainability in their ventures. In order to do so, training programs should
cater to the important requirements of effective training in order to deliver the expected objectives.
Thus, this paper aims to explore the determinants of the effectiveness of an entrepreneurshiptraining
program using UMK’s students as the sample. Entrepreneurship students’ perception on
this is vital as they might be the entrepreneurs who will be involved in an entrepreneurship training
program once they graduate from the university. This study adopted the purposive sampling method,
where 50 students from the Faculty of Entrepreneurship and Business were selected to answer the
structured questionnaires. The results of the study revealed that the trainees’ readiness and learning
approach were determinants of the effectiveness of the training program. On the other hand, the
other two variables, entrepreneur’s orientation and trainer skills, did not have a significant
relationship with the effectiveness of the training program. The findings should be treated with
caution due to the small number of students involved in the study |
