From its humble beginnings on August 21, 1983, as a computer training center with only two campuses, STI now has campuses all over the Philippines and has diversified into ICT-enhanced programs in Information Technology, Business and Management, Tourism, and Hospitality Management, Engineering, and Arts and Sciences.
It all started when four visionaries conceptualized setting up a training center to fill particular human resources needs. It was in the early '80s when Augusto C. Lagman, Herman T. Gamboa, Benjamin A. Santos, and Edgar H. Sarte — four entrepreneurs came together to set up Systems Technology Institute (STI), a training center that delivers primary programming education to professionals and students who want to learn this new skill.
Systems Technology Institute's name came from countless brainstorming sessions among the founders, perhaps from Sarte's penchant for three-letter acronyms from the companies he managed at the time. The first two schools were inaugurated on August 21, 1983, in Buendia, Makati, and España, Manila, and offered introductory computer programming courses. With a unique and superior product on their hands, it was not difficult to expand the franchise through the founders' business contacts. A year after the first two schools opened, the franchise grew to include STI Binondo, Cubao, and Taft.
A unique value proposition spelled the difference for the STI brand, then: "First We will Teach You, Then We will Hire You." Through its unique Guaranteed Hire Program (GHP), all qualified graduates were offered jobs by one of the founders' companies or through their industry contacts.
The schools' first batch of graduates, all 11 of them, were hired by Systems Resources Incorporated. And through GHP, more qualified STI graduates found themselves working in their field of interest straight out of school.No one among the four founders imagined that the Systems Technology Institute would become a college or would grow to have over 100 schools across the country. But it did, all because of its unique value proposition, the synergy between the founders and their personnel, and the management's faithfulness to quality.
A long way since its birth, STI's thrust has permeated right into the core of the globally competitive market — it has transcended beyond ICT and beyond education, addressing the need for job-ready graduates.
