The Department of Labor and Employment reports that the number of unemployed persons in July 2009 was estimated at 2.9 million persons, higher by 6.3 percent than the estimate reported last year of the same survey period at 2.7 million persons. In addition, there is an estimated half a million graduates who would be looking for a job giving the country an approximate 7.7 percent unemployment rate for the year 2009 from 7.4 percent in 2008. Even worst, more and more Filipinos are being displaced by companies everyday here and abroad.
Faced with this kind of problem, Filipinos are left with no choice but to find other means to earn a living. One good option is to create your own business and be your own boss. There are business agencies and government institutions that make livelihood training programs available to those who are committed to start their own business. This would be the answer to the growing unemployment rate in the country.
This will help many aspiring young entrepreneurs to learn lessons from business operation to entrepreneurship as well as marketing. Most of these business and livelihood training agencies offered courses from entrepreneurship, product development, marketing and financing. They also have available brochures, booklets and CDs that would help and guide aspiring Filipino entrepreneurs in starting and executing their business. To generate even a wider reach, some of these agencies established their own TV program aired over different television shows aiming to create a livelihood opportunities for more Filipinos.
Below are agencies that offer detailed and specific training programs on livelihood skills and technologies, as well as business management. Some of these business agencies also offer Free Business and Livelihood Trainings.

Why not the government make a solution for this unemployed individuals. Why not hiring them to clean streets, more police, enforcers etc. Why government did not use minerals and oils in our country. Mining and oil are taking by some countries.Why not our government oprate it? Why our government do not purchase equipments to be used to build our own business.Steel, Nickel Copper, gold, cobalt, charcoal, and duterium resources . Who own these? who managed? and who benefited these? Why are we still depend on importation? Rice Production why our government do not buy our own products?

A better economy means nothing if anyone can’t find a job. improvement in national economy should means more jobs, but this is not the case. jobs will open up but these jobs requires people of higher education. not the kind most people in the Philippines are qualified for and foreign investments doesn’t do anything for this problem. all we need is some initiative and sense

Hi, actually, I have taken a courses in one of the livelihood schools you mentioned but nothing happened. I am now earning through online writing while doing tutorial jobs. I guess one just have to hone one’s skills and not involve oneself to so many things because it will only confuse you. Thanks though for sharing. These business news will help a lot of Pilipinos.
