Abstract: Abstract This study examined the influence of the co-production of training on the creative transfer of entrepreneurship training in Tanzania. Specifically, the study assessed the extent to which co-production of training was applied in selected entrepreneurship training programmes, and examined the influence of the training co-production dimensions on creative application of entrepreneurship skills in micro-enterprises. It was based on a mixed qual→QUAN approach encompassing a content analysis of the training co-production dimensions (co-training needs analysis, co-design and co-delivery) and a survey of 418 trained micro-entrepreneurs. Findings indicate that co-production of entrepreneurship training increased the probability of creative application of training skills in micro-enterprises from 31 to 49%. However, the less prevalent co-production dimensions (co-training needs and co-design) had a moderate positive influence on the creative transfer of entrepreneurship training, while the more prevalent dimension (co-delivery) had a strong positive bearing on the creative transfer of entrepreneurship training. The study underscores the vitality of co-production of training in fostering the use of entrepreneurship training creatively, which is crucial for promoting innovation and business prosperity. It demonstrates the applicability of the principles of Andragogy and co-production of entrepreneurship training in an emerging economy context.
