Abstract

Uganda's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, but there is a growing interest in entrepreneurship as an alternative growth driver. A qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with 30 participants from various sectors across Uganda. Participants highlighted the importance of foundational courses in entrepreneurship, particularly those focusing on market analysis and financial management. Business education plays a crucial role in nurturing entrepreneurial skills among Ugandan students and professionals. Incorporate more practical modules into business curricula to better equip graduates for real-world challenges.
