Results: Findings revealed positive effects such as enhanced business skills, increased self-confidence, hope, and empowerment. Participants viewed entrepreneurship as a means to improve their livelihoods and contribute to community development. Discussions: The study underscored the importance of entrepreneurship training for resilience and economic autonomy. Conclusions: Addressing structural challenges and tailoring programs to community-specific needs is crucial for long-term effectiveness and sustainable development.
