The Sangguniang Kabataan Provincial Federation led the kickoff of the Linggo ng Kabataan 2023 at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol lobby.
Different youth entrepreneurs from the province attended the Basic Entrepreneurship Training and Startup 101 Orientation on August 9, 2023, at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol lobby. It was conducted by the Sangguniang Kabataan Provincial Federation as part of the Linggo ng Kabataan 2023.
The Local Economic Development and Investment Promotion (LEDIP) Center facilitated the training.
Provincial Administrator Raul Banias delivered the welcome message on behalf of Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr.
In his message, Banias said that the Defensor administration continues to support the initiatives that prioritize the well-being of the youth, particularly those that embrace green skills and contribute to sustainability.
“In our pursuit of progress and development, we are fortunate to have a visionary leader in Governor Toto of MoRProGRes. His mantra of development is not just about economic growth, but also about improving the lives of our people, especially our youth. It is under his guidance that we are striving to bridge the gaps in our education system, ensuring that quality education reaches every corner of our province,” he said.
“We recognize that a sustainable future hinges on equipping our youth with the skills that will allow them to contribute positively to our society and environment. Today's program on Basic Entrepreneurship Training and Startup 101 is a testament to our commitment. As we encourage young minds to delve into the world of business, we also emphasize the importance of doing so with a green perspective – a perspective that nurtures not only economic growth but also environmental stewardship,” Banias added.
