Manila Bulletin, May 2, 2009
Not
many know that the Philippine Trade Training
Center (PTTC), an attached agency of the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI), is conducting free livelihood
training programs. This is part of DTI's CLEEP Project.
CLEEP aims to inspire and encourage displaced workers
and unemployed persons to engage in their own businesses
and learn different skills and crafts amid the global
financial crisis.
One may ask: are displaced workers including those who
worked abroad really interested to put up their own businesses?
If we use a gauge the number of participants who attended
the initial simultaneous free seminars on livelihood held
at PTTC last February 25, 2009 - the answer is a resounding
yes. In that seminar, 2,142 participants attended. The
participants were provided with trainings on How to Start
a Business, Franchising, Distributorship/Dealership, Commercial
Baking, No Bake Cakes, Meat Processing, basic Barista,
Hog Raising, Slippers Making, Decorative Candle Making,
Soap Making, Hair Cutting, Basic Cellphone Repair and
Webpage Design.
