HUNDREDS of aspiring entrepreneurs have gathered at the event center of SM CDO Downtown Premier, Cagayan de Oro City for a free mentorship on entrepreneurship and marketing coaching on Thursday, May 30.
Spearheaded by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Go Negosyo program, the Mentor Me on Wheels (MMOW) Free 1-on-1 Negosyo Mentorship aims to bring mentorship closer to all Filipinos.
The attendees got the opportunity to sit down with a Go Negosyo mentor for a one-on-one mentoring session. There were modules on entrepreneurial mind-setting and marketing to provide supplemental knowledge on managing micro and small businesses.
Through the MMOW, micro-small business owners were equipped with the technical and practical know-how on entrepreneurship in more convenient and accessible locations.
The event was led by Nonoy Espeleta, president of Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, together with City Mayor Oscar Moreno; Dr. Viel Jose, operations manager of The Vjandep Bakeshop; DTI-Northern Mindanao Director Linda Boniao; and Mercedes Pelaez-Mejia, CEO of Slers Inc.
