THE Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said it launched a self-assessment tool for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) which will allow them to evaluate the degree to which they are ready to embark on digital transformation.
Trade Secretary Ramon M. Lopez said during second meeting of the E-commerce Promotion Council that business must tap the opportunities on offer from the digital economy by equipping themselves with the necessary skills to navigate the digitally-enhanced market.
“MSMEs may opt to visit the website of DTI or the NegosyoCenter.online website and its learning resources. They can also visit their nearest Negosyo Center to inquire about the next steps, from how to create an e-mail account to data analytics . There is information available for our micro, small, medium enterprises and DTI is here to help,” Mr. Lopez added.
“One of the key strategies of the e-Commerce Philippines 2022 Roadmap is to make available a talent pool of digitally skilled workers. Skills mismatch has often been cited as a perennial problem in various industries and if we are to achieve maximum growth for the e-commerce sector, we must understand the e-commerce workforce ecosystem and identify the demand requirement so we can supply relevant skills,” Mr. Lopez said.
