Sixty-two participants in Talasea District have completed a SME training in West New Britain.
The training was facilitated by Small to Medium Enterprises Corporation in partnership with Buvusi AOG Church.
Speaking during the closing SMEC Managing Director Petrus Ralda said the training is necessary for people to start or improve their business. He said people cannot continue to depend on Government systems to improve their livelihood.
“We are blessed with many opportunities but yet we do not make wise decisions”, said MD Ralda. He said the training is designed to evolve in this challenging business environment. Mr. Ralda echoed concerns of cultural obligations as a key factor in many businesses drowning.
“We can change this”, said Ralda. He urged participants to take initiative and be creative and innovative following this training.
“Discipline in business is very important for any individual to startup a business”, said MD Ralda.
The SME training was conducted in Kaibo outside Kimbe Town and other at Buvusi. 20 participants attended at Kaibo while 42 at Buvusi.
Late last year West New Britain did a ground breaking ceremony for a SME Incubation Centre to be built in Kimbe. This would see interested individuals to seek help to broaden their business or how to start a business.
The Incubation Centre is expected to be completed this year and opened for business.
SMEC also signed an agreement with the West New Britain Provincial under the Commerce Department.
