 KAPATID MENTOR ME Program

Initiated by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the program aims to assist SMEs by education
entrepreneurs with the necessary skills to run a business. It is a 12-week program that consists of 10
modules that cover product development, marketing, operations management, accounting, taxatin,
finance and obligations and contracts. 

 Shared Service Facilities Program (SSF)

Competition is an important factor in the growth of a business. Sadly, the facilities and equipment that
various businesses need to stay ahead of the competition tend to be costly. In order to give different
SMEs a chance to go head-to-head with other businesses, the Shared Service Facilities program was
launched. The SSF program provides businesses all over the country the opportunity to borrow necessary
equipment, tools and resources in order to help increase their productivity.

will be taught the necessary skills to run a business like product development, marketing, etc.
