Sees have contributed to over 60% of jobs and statistics indicate that most of these sees are in the brink of failure as only two out of every five sees make it through past the first few months. This research specific objective was to establish how training influence SMEs business growth. The target population was six hundred (600) sees. A sample size of one hundred and twenty (120) sees was selected using stratified random sampling. The research adopted a descriptive research design.
