MORE than 200 entrepreneurs are expected to learn networking and other aspects of entrepreneurship from business owners, business practitioners and experts on different areas of entrepreneurship in an upcoming free mentoring seminar.

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Cebu Director Maria Elena Arbon said the “Mentor Me” program, a flagship project of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship, Inc.-Go Negosyo, aims to help micro and small entrepreneurs scale up their businesses through mentorship.

“(This can be achieved) through coaching and mentoring of business owners, practitioners, and experts on different areas on entrepreneurship,” she said in a statement.

The Mentor Me seminar, which will be held on July 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

Arbon encouraged local government units in the province to send entrepreneur representatives from their areas as MSMEs from within Cebu City will always have access to these kinds of events.

Go Negosyo’s program is in partnership with the DTI, the office of Senator Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV, and other institutional partners such as the Philippine Chamber of Commerce, Inc., said Arbon.

She added that participants will be educated by Go Negosyo’s angelpreneurs (entrepreneurs that help finance other start-up enterprises), experienced entrepreneurs and seasoned business lecturers.

The seminar will discuss entrepreneurial mind-setting, values formation and finance for MSMEs.
