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.
