This study evaluates the impact of the 2025 Wavumbuzi Entrepreneurship Challenge (WEC) on the development of entrepreneurial competencies among secondary school learners in Rwanda. Using a pretest–posttest experimental design, we analyzed matched data from 10,236 learners who completed both baseline and endline surveys. Results show statistically significant improvements in 13 of 18 measured entrepreneurial factors, with greater gains among learners who engaged more deeply with the platform. However, reverse-coded indicators of entrepreneurial intention and mindset showed reduced scores post-intervention, highlighting areas for further qualitative exploration. The findings underscore WEC’s potential to foster entrepreneurial growth through domain-engaged learning.
