A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative survey data was employed to assess participants' perceptions and achievements post-vocational training. Female graduates reported a significant improvement (30%) in their entrepreneurial skills following vocational training, correlating with increased business growth rates (25%).
