Advert 427 also known as Exhibitor, Planning and Management under Dr. Lenny Rose P. Mucho, Director of the Review, Continuing Education and Consultancy Center and faculty of the College of Business and Management aims to showcase the wit, talent and creativity of Centralians taking up Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship Management.
Junior students taking up the said subject recently conducted two events that showcased the merging of entrepreneurial fines and community social responsibility. Divided into two group, the group held two events; one group held an Entrep Week entitled “Paradigm: Blazing the Entrepreneurial Spirit” held at the CPU Half Moon, while the other group held “Art Park” at the Festive Walk in Megaworld Iloilo.
From March 5-9, 2018, the Entrep Week invited small scale and kiosk business owners to showcase their products and services. It also featured Centralian artists that serenaded Centralians from 4:00 onwards at the Half Moon. Rae Marie G. Leong-on, 3rd Year BSEM, shares that one of the goals of their activity is to connect local entrepreneurs and promote their products to Centralians, “Our preparation took three months in the making. We really want to connect with our local entrepreneurs and to give their products a chance to be known by Centralians and other markets as well.”
Also part of the activity is “Entrep Talk” which invited B Lifestyle owner, Roy Betita and TOSP National Winner, Riego Garcia. The said event was held on March 13, 2018 at the Educational Media Center.
“Art Park” on the other hand held an art exhibit and lifestyle bazaar, spoken word poetry, music jam and a fun run from February 14-18, 2018.
According to Dr. Mucho, the goal of the activity was for the students to gain hands-on experience on handling entrepreneurial roles before graduation. “Both activities were very well attended. The goal really is for them to know how to interact with people as future entrepreneurs, to get sponsors and to negotiate. The activity also aims to develop their confidence and expose them to this kind of work.”
