dc.description.abstractEntrepreneurship success has been globally acknowledged as an instrument for achieving economic growth and development as well as employment creation. The objective of the study was to determine the role of education, work experience and training in supporting entrepreneurship success in Nebbi District, West Nile, Uganda. Using both purposive and simple random sampling procedure, a sample of 89 participants was selected for the survey. A structured questionnaire was used in the study. The data were sought and analyzed using SPSS statistical package. The study indicated Cronbach‘s alpha coefficient ( >.70) and Correlation results indicated that education, training and working experience all have a positive significant relationship with entrepreneurial success at 1% level of significance. This means that entrepreneurs, whose education and working experience are business-related, are more likely to succeed than those whose education and working experiences are outside business. The study recommended that relevant entrepreneurship training should be expanded in the region since it has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial success as this is expected to accelerate economic growth and reduce unemployment especially among the youth.
