Abstract: Entrepreneurship is a vital driver of economic growth globally, including in Southeast Nigeria, where women entrepreneurs play a pivotal role. However, these women face unique challenges due to limited access to tailored training programs. This study investigates the impact of Training (bookkeeping and credit recovery training) on the entrepreneurial performance of women in Southeast Nigeria. A survey research design was employed, targeting 5,690 registered women-owned enterprises in Southeast Nigeria. A sample of 360 respondents was selected using judgmental and simple random sampling. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale format. Multiple regression analysis examined the relationship between independent variables (bookkeeping training and credit recovery training) and the dependent variable (women entrepreneurial performance). The study reveals that bookkeeping training significantly enhances women entrepreneurial performance, emphasizing the practical value of such programs. Credit recovery training also has a positive impact, addressing credit-related challenges. These results underscore the importance of tailored training initiatives for women entrepreneurs. Promote bookkeeping training programs to equip women entrepreneurs with financial management skills and support credit recovery training tailored to address credit-related challenges. Integrate TPB into program design, fostering a supportive attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. Continuously research and monitor training program impact to adapt to evolving needs and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs.
