Abstract
The study aimed at the effect of technical skills on the entrepreneurial performance of small-scale enterprises in Kyengera town council. The target population for the study included all formally registered small business owners operating in Kyengera Town Council who had been in operation for at least two years. Using records from the local business registry, the researcher was able to identify a sampling frame of 300 eligible enterprises across diverse sectors including agro-processing, garment production, furniture making and retail services. Using simple random sampling techniques involving a computerized number generator, 150 enterprises were selected and systematically contacted for participation in the study between September and December 2020. The findings shown that through bivariate means, the correlation between financial and business performance was (r)= 0.453. This implied that there was a weak positive relationship between the two variables since the significant value is 0.000 which was less than 0.05 (p < 0.05). The Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES) and the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) should promote entrepreneurial skills in universities and other training institutions. This study found more certificate entrepreneurs and diploma holders; therefore, introducing entrepreneurial skills in training courses will go a long way in boosting the performance of these entrepreneurs.
