Two hundred proportional stratified sixteen participants random sampling were techniques selected considering using the Department as independent variable for stratification .Likert scale- five point perception attitude scales was considered for trainees questionnaires . Purposive sampling was preferred to gather data from entrepreneurship trainers (five in number), guidance, and counselors (three in numbers) through interview. A method of analysis was, mean, standard deviation and chi- square to see the significance difference of the trainees perception. Moreover, a two way ANOVA was employed to see the degree of perception difference between male and female business, construction, and Industrial fields (Department) of study. The result showed that the perception of trainees toward entrepreneur (self- employment) was positive with support the trainee received, and their interest toward the field of study. Even though there was societal influence, the trainees' perception towards motivations (recognition, basic needs and reward) to entrepreneur is positive. However, it showed there was perception difference between departments in being entrepreneur. As it was shown in the study the society influence on females in becoming entrepreneur is less. Hence, it is concluded that the trainees' perception toward entrepreneur is in good condition. However, in order to get better condition the colleges should strengthen their staffs with the knowledge of entrepreneurship
