For those who are contemplating on becoming entrepreneurs but don’t know where to start, here’s something I got from the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) website.

DTI is conducting free entrepreneurship trainings. This free training is a good venue to be exposed on the know-hows of business. This is most specially timely, to those who have availed of the P15,000 loan from SSS or the P50,000 from OWWA.

Though the PIA website the trainings that were conducted in the Western Visayas area where about 5,021 have already availed of the free trainings. These include housewives, OFWs, workers who are planning to get into business, ambulant vendors, and even micro, small and medium enterprises.

While the report contains data from the Visayas area, further down the article says the free training is being given in every DTI provincial offices. Groups and associations (NGOs, LGUs, and cooperatives), as well as individuals, who are interested in the program needs to coordinate with the DTI office in their respective areas.

Upon reading this news, I called DTI Pampanga at 045-4551413 to inquire about the program. They said it is a half-day affair, and participants would then progress to more comprehensive trainings based on the results of the half-day seminar.
