THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Negros Occidental has conducted entrepreneurship and business planning seminar to 16 potential and existing micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the province.

The participants of the activity, held at the Negros First Negosyo Center in Bacolod City on Thursday, January 17, are mostly overseas Filipino workers.

DTI-Negros Occidental, in a press release, said the seminar aims to equip the participants with knowledge on generating business ideas and guide them for proper business operation.

This is also to promote entrepreneurial mindset among Negrenses, especially potential MSMEs.

This training is being implemented regularly through the DTI's Entrepreneurship Development Program for OFWs in partnership with the Overseas Worker Welfare Administration.

Resource persons during the seminar were business counselors Gabriel Advincula and Mia Aujero.
