The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)-6 in partnership with the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) is conducting a three-day Training-for-Trainors Course on Business Continuity Planning (BCP) for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME).
This capacity building initiative was organized to enhance the skills of Negosyo Centers Business Counselors, CARP staff, and DTI BCP focal persons in providing technical and expert advice to MSMEs affected by natural and human-induced calamities or pandemic.
