Roxas City, Capiz – The entrepreneurial revolution brought about by the Kapatid Mentor Me (KMME) Program of DTI with the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship has taken its roots in all corners of the country – from Abra to Basilan.
This program is a venue for micro entrepreneurs, especially with those little or no formal background in the different functional areas of business development, to equip themselves with necessary and relevant entrepreneurial knowledge and skills towards business success.
On July 4, the second batch of 20 Capiz entrepreneurs is set to graduate after the grueling 10-module sessions at the Lakehouse 3, San Antonio Resort, Roxas City. Prior to the graduation ceremony, these mentees will present their Business Improvement Plan to a panel of experts composed of representatives from the business sector, banking sector and DTI/PCE.
KMME underscores the importance of entrepreneurial mind setting, building a product image or brand down to operations management, financial management and legal aspects of the enterprise.
“As mentees, you are fortunate to be able to attend the 10-week sessions with ten topics that are essential to business success discussed comprehensively by Kapatid mentors,” DTI Capiz Provincial Director Ermelinda Pollentes told the mentees.
She also added that with the intensifying business competition, there is a need to make a community of visionary, innovative and resilient entrepreneurs here in the province of Capiz providing opportunities for all, thereby achieving inclusivity. (DTI Capiz) ♦
