Abstract
Training as a BDS component improves Enterprisers’ competencies which are critical in the success of their firms. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between the training status and entrepreneurs’ operational competencies. A sample of 252 respondents for the study was drawn from the Western Kenya counties of Uasin Gisu, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Kisumu and Kakamega. The study was guided by the entrepreneurial competency model. Primary data was collected using questionnaires while document analysis was employed for secondary data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v.21) was utilized in analyzing data, basing on split file, paired t-test and multiple sets. The results revealed that training enhanced entrepreneurs’ competencies, more so to those with secondary education and above. There is therefore need to investigate the relationship between levels of entrepreneur education and entrepreneurial performance.
