An Evaluation of the Post Training Phase of Entrepreneurship Development Programmes: Trainees’ Perspective

The post training support provided as part of Entrepreneurship Development Programmes plays a vital role in creating and nurturing new entrepreneurs especially those with no family business background. The initial phase of entrepreneurial journey needs considerable support and motivation to persist in the face of many stumbling blocks. It is in this context the post training phase or the follow-up measures of the entrepreneurial training institution gains relevance. The present study is an attempt to sum up the responses of the trainees with regard to the follow-up support they had received from their training institutions.
