History

STI History

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 very
specific manpower 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 basic 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 in August 21, 1983 in Buendia, Makati and in
España, Manila, and offered basic 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.

History

A unique value proposition spelled the difference for the STI brand then: “First We’ll
Teach You, Then We’ll Hire You.” Through its unique Guaranteed Hire Program (GHP),
all qualified graduates were offered jobs by one of the founders’ companies, or through
their contacts in the industry.

The schools’ 1st 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.
