The
Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DCCCII) is encouraging new
graduates and job seekers to consider business as a good alternative to
employment.
“Many
Dabawenyos are not very much aware of the opportunities of small businesses and
this is something which they should seriously consider,” DCCCII President
Architect Daniel Lim said during the opening of the Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprise Development Week at Abreeza Mall Monday.
The
MSME Week will be an ideal venue for small and medium entrepreneurs to showcase
their products. More importantly, he said, it will also provide them with
additional entrepreneurship knowledge in the areas of Business Management,
Franchising and Marketing among others through the series of seminars that will
be held in different venues throughout the week.
Lim
said being and entrepreneur means being able to have full control of your time
and your own future. He said food remains a good prospect for future
entrepreneurs as there is always demand.
“Budding
entrepreneurs can also look at the possibility of events organizing and
franchising,” he said. With franchising, he said, everything is provided and
already comes with the complete package, you only have to follow the
procedures.
He
said the Chamber has 300 to 400 members, many of which are members of
associations. We have many members who are small and medium entrepreneurs, he
added.
