Abstract
Provision of skills training has been identified by Government of Uganda as one of the major initiatives to
be undertaken to make youth more enterprising and address the skills mismatch employers are grappling
with. A review of evidence on skills provision shows that a combination of skills training yield higher
impacts on labour market outcomes than training in a single skill alone. In addition, training targeted at
every stage of entrepreneurial development (mind-set, incubation, start-up, growth and expansion) are
vital in sustaining businesses venture over the long-term with emphasis on peer-to-pear mentoring.
