Empowering Tesda graduates with entrepreneurial skills

GO Negosyo recently held a productive meeting with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) to discuss potential collaboration in supporting and supplementing Tesda's existing programs in entrepreneurship.

'Four out five Filipinos aspire to become entrepreneurs,' said Go Negosyo founder Jose Maria 'Joey' Concepcion 3rd. 'By helping Filipinos realize this dream, we create more job opportunities because MSMEs generate more than half of the jobs in the country.'
