TARLAC CITY (PIA) -- A total of 20 women daycare workers in Bamban, Tarlac attended the entrepreneurship training of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

The seminar, which was conducted in partnership with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, aims to arm participants with the right skills and knowledge to unlock their potential in business ventures. 

DTI OIC-Provincial Director Florencia Balilo said the agency looks forward to developing more micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that would contribute to job creation and economic growth. 

“This seminar aims to equip attendees with knowledge on the basics of going into business. We hope that it will help them discover their entrepreneurial capabilities and give them the confidence to engage in it,” Balilo added. 

Negosyo Center Business Counselor Luis Casupanan discussed the essential factors of business such as the characteristics of an entrepreneur, different types of businesses, business opportunities, and the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship. 

Dina Cura, one of the attendees, shared her takeaways.

“I learned how to open a business. I became informed about the advantages and disadvantages of being an entrepreneur. I was also inspired by the entrepreneurial journey of some MSMEs,” she expressed. 

DTI holds training activities to spur local economic development, and to help potential and budding MSMEs to start and improve their business. (CLJD/TJBM-PIA 3)
