The Philippine
Trade Training Center was established
in 1987 by virtue of Executive Order No. 133 and with
the official development assistance grant from the Government
of Japan through JICA, to invigorate an export industry
needed for the country’s economic recovery. It is
an attached agency of the Department of Trade and Industry
that assists exporters, would-be exporters, manufacturers
and entrepreneurs to become more competitive in the international
market through training.
In its 20th year of operations, PTTC envisions
itself as an evolving and dynamic capability-building
institution committed to satisfy the growing and changing
needs of MSMEs. Thus, PTTC provides training and advisory
services on entrepreneurship development, export management,
quality and productivity improvement, e-business and e-commerce,
as well as exhibition facilities for trade fairs and events.
