Abstract Vocational training is seen as an important strategy for improving employment outcomes and providing individuals with possible career development possibilities. A change from supply-driven to demand-driven methods is occurring in many countries. The demand-driven approach to vocational training is frequently discussed at the macro level, and it is linked to employer and labour market viewpoints. This paper, on the other hand, investigates the demand-driven approach at the micro level, focusing on the perspectives of individual learners within the context of their communities in order to place them at the centre of the skill development process. Women have a critical part in the country’s socioeconomic change, therefore their empowerment is essential for the country’s growth. Women’s participation in entrepreneurial activity is increasingly recognised as a means of achieving financial development. A woman who develops her entrepreneurship can not only earn money for herself, but also provide jobs for other women in her community. In recent years, the government has placed a strong focus on women’s economic empowerment. Several government and non-government organisations are supporting women in gaining additional earning capacity and promoting on-farm and off-farm ventures with the goal of creating sustainable and productive employment and ensuring their livelihood support system.
