Brief History of STI College

 
1983 seventeen years ago, four computer industry professionals promised to provide as many Filipinos as possible with quality computer education to make them equal to the best in the world. Hence, STI was born on August 21, 1983 with its first training centers in Buendia, España Extension and Binondo.. The school was born from a vision of its founders - Herman T. Gamboa, Augusto C. Lagman, Benjamin A. Santos and Edgar H. Sarte. With concentration on enhancing genuine learning geared towards self-discipline and based on a strong moral character, STI molds the student's potential and attitudes with a set of work ethics essential for a responsible and productive citizenry.
The Vision of STI's founders was that of a Philippines joining in the attainment of full human development which focuses on the technology, spiritual, political, social, cultural, and physical aspect essential to improving the quality of life of every individual. STI seeks to develop competent in both domestic and international arenas leading to the full development of the family, community and the larger society.
The first STI Training Centers opened in the busiest business centers in Metro Manila with the promise: "First we'll teach you then we'll hire you." As enrollment grew, more location were set up. The first provincial location began operators in Baguio in 1985. Today, an STI school can be found in over 50 locations extending all over the country, from Visayas, to Mindanao.
STI continues to expand its nationwide network of Colleges and Training Centers to provide quality computer education within the reach of more and more students. What was once just a vision is now the largest computer education network in the Southeast Asia.
In 1995, STI was grated approval by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to operate Collegiate Courses, in effect transforming STI Training Centers into Colleges starting School year 1995-1996.
