This study set out to investigate the effects of Entrepreneurship Education on the Youth Entrepreneurs in Luwero town council, Luwero district. The importance of Entrepreneurship Education is crucial in the process of economic development and is widely recognised by scholars, researchers, governments, development agencies and policy Makers. With this change in mindset and relative knowledge in order to curb down unemployment and its far reaching effects, entrepreneurship should be encouraged, and thus, job creation. In secondary and tertiary institutions entrepreneurship and innovation have been developed and offered due to increased international and local demand in all sectors of the economy; this has led to emerging social entrepreneurs, business entrepreneurs and others. In this case entrepreneurship takes a wide range of explanation and importance in the economy‟s development The major objective was to investigate the effects of entrepreneurship education on the youth entrepreneurs in Luwero town council Luwero district. The study was both qualitative and quantitative following a case study design. A sample of 40 respondents was used and purposive, snowball, and volunteer sampling techniques were used.
The findings show that there is need for quality entrepreneurship education and streamlined policies to enhance this education and well thought about and laid down policies that are applicable and can suit the people thus having greater impact on young entrepreneurs for a quality sustainable living and reduced job seekers of this era. It is clear that entrepreneurship education is important because these relationships between the effects of entrepreneurship education and successful entrepreneurs can help to decrease the risks and challenges that young people face in becoming successful entrepreneurs or become involved in other activities, harmful to themselves and to society in Luwero town Council. It should also be noted that entrepreneurship education is part of lifelong learning; in it, entrepreneurial skills are developed and supplemented at different points in life. It is a question of life management, interaction, self-guided action, a capacity for innovation and an ability to encounter change. Education and training help entrepreneurship evolve into a mode of operation, in which attitude, will and a desire to take action combine with knowledge and advanced competence. This cannot be done in isolation but rather it is like a situation of a “delivering mother and a mid-wife” Recommendation: Entrepreneurship Education should start early when children are young, should be practical centred, the policy of the government should be conducive for the study and students should be encouraged to innovate and sustain these businesses for the country‟s development and better standards of living.
