However, transferring physical business in education to online educational business practices is challenging because many academics need competency training on digital skills to engage in edupreneurship. Irrespective of educational qualifications, focused training could provide competency capacity to practice edupreneurship. So, this study investigated the impact of focused training and educational qualifications on the development of TVET educators' capacity to use emerging technology towards entrepreneurship. Data were collected through online questionnaire. Validated, online, 4-Likert scale questionnaire (0.79 reliability coefficient) was used to collect data. The data were analysed using frequency count, Chart, and Chi-square.

Therefore, it was recommended that training should be specific and practically situated on real-life experiences intended to achieve and that it should be inclusive irrespective of academic cadres.
