The training, conducted in three batches, covered various aspects of entrepreneurial skills, including Entrepreneurial Mind Setting, Business Cycle, Barangay Micro-Business Enterprise (BMBE), Values Transformation, Financial Literacy, Gender Sensitivity, Community Organizing, Sustainable Agricultural Production Training, Food Safety Training, and Mushroom Production.
