The early years of 1980's were the opportune time
for the growing computer industry in the Philippines. Various companies
were beginning to embrace the electronic data processing technology
thereby creating a big demand for a computer literate workforce. STI
was founded with a mission to satisfy this demand by providing quality
computer education to as many Filipinos as possible.
STI started operating in August of 1983 with COBOL programming as
its first major course. From then on, STI implemented full-scale expansion,
offering more courses and setting up more schools nationwide. In 1994,
its first overseas branch opened in Hong Kong to serve the needs of
the Filipino community there. In 2001, STI refocused its vision to
further expand its services by venturing into non-ICT programs.
Throughout its more than 20 years of experience in ICT-centered education,
STI has developed a comprehensive portfolio of bachelor courses, diploma,
and certificate programs in the field of Information and Communications
Technology, Healthcare, Business, Education, and Engineering.
Today, STI has over 100 campuses strategically located across the
Philippines, making its mark as the largest network of colleges in
the country. Information and Communications Technology will continue
to drive the world with the onset of the 21st century. As the new
economy warrants nations to develop more globally competitive workforce,
STI will continue to lead in ICT-enabled human resource development
through innovative learning and career planning methodologies.
