This is why attending business and livelihood training seminars is an important step which all entrepreneurs must consider,” Mayor James Gordon, Jr. said.

“Business and livelihood institutions are always available to help you. Immerse yourself in the community and ask around. You can likewise approach your barangay officials to inquire on available training seminars which might interest you,” Mayor Gordon added.

The free trainings are still in line with the program of Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. to help alleviate and uplift the lives of Olongapeños.
